Department of Robotics

Education and research on the synthesis of noble robots

Students in this department acquire knowledge and skills of fundamentals and future of robotics. We focus education and research on these engineering and scientific subjects: mechanical engineering; electronics; control engineering; information engineering; neuroscience; brain machine interfaces and biomedical engineering. Our department aims to develop versatile engineers, creative scientists who can contribute to research and development, or production related to mechanical engineering, electronics, industrial robots, home robots, and other related fields.

Point of learning

Practical Training Teaching the Enjoyment Involved in Manufacturing

The emphasis is placed on a full understanding of the processes involved in manufacturing with the students designing, producing and operating products. Small groups of students systematically implement experiments covering a wide range of research fields to enhance their level of learning in a practical way.

State-of-the-Art Studies Integrating Technology and Design

Nurturing human resources capable of designing robots from the viewpoint of providing support for people via the concepts of mechatronics and design.

Challenging Research in Robotics Across a Broad Spectrum of Themes

There are many themes available, such as surgery support robots that can be operated remotely and welfare robots that provide support for the rehabilitation of the elderly. Incorporates research that aims at a new future featuring the coexistence of humans and robots.

Department of System Design

Our department is dedicated to nurture talent capable of creating comprehensive systems that bridge the gap between humans and robots, focusing on the user's perspective. Our program offers students the opportunity to gain a comprehensive understanding of design principles across a range of disciplines?including electronics and electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and information engineering?through practical work and experimentation. With these skills, our students are prepared to lead research efforts aimed at innovating in areas such as wearable technology and devices that enhance quality of life.

Point of learning

Manufacturing Utilizing IoT Technology

Students will be gain hands-on experience in a wide range of problem-solving manufacturing projects. They will learn the enjoyment involved in turning creative ideas (innovations) acquired during the projects into manufacturing targets while making the best possible use of IoT technology.

Design Concepts: Comprehensive Education in Engineering Centered Around Humanity

A new style of engineering education emphasizes analyzing the history of technology and social movements, as well as using IoT and AI, etc., to forecast future societal trends. This approach aim to strengthen an understanding of research targets and the social environments where research can best be most effectively applied.

Nurturing Active Human Resources Through Links Between Industry and Academia, and Overseas Studies

Aiming at nurture active human resources capable of creating new industries through entrepreneurship by bringing out their leadership qualities in corporate environments. This is achieved through exposure to actual social problems in collaborative projects with companies and experience gained in projects implemented together with overseas universities.

Department of Design and Architecture

Students in the Department of Design and Architecture acquire knowledge and skills in the field of architecture and design that enable them to successfully perform in a broad range of industries, from product and communication design to design planning and architecture.

Our program offers two courses, as follows;

  1. The Product Design course focuses on developing a wide range of products that define our lifestyles, including furniture, lighting, and industrial products that fulfill all human needs and help to create better living environments.
  2. The Architecture and Interior Design course focuses on developing the architectural design of buildings, including residential and commercial facilities (such as housing and stores), and educational and cultural facilities (such as museums and concert halls), to make useful contributions to our society.

Point of Learning

Educational Program Providing Two Courses in Alignment with Future Ambitions Targeting Future Architects

The second semester of the first year offers a choice of courses in Space Design and Product Design. Acquiring the required number of credits and gaining the prescribed practical experience after graduation enable students to obtain eligibility for sitting for the First Class Architect qualification examination.

Space Design Course: Providing the Sensitivity and Technology to Decorate a Wide Range of Different Spaces

Teaches architectural and interior design techniques for all types of environments, including living space, commercial space and public space. The students will learn the basics of architectural design, structural mechanics and environmental engineering as well as CG techniques in order to create actual plans, mock-ups and perspectives, etc.

Product Design: Cultivating Design Skills that Respect the Sense of Values Inherent with Viewers and Users

Teaches the design of household furniture, electrical appliances, advertisements and other everyday articles. In addition to aiming at levels of design that are not only pleasant to look at, but that also concentrate on the environments in which they are used and the users to take functionality and ease-of-use into account, the students will also learn about design techniques that accurately convey information.
