Teaching and Research Fields
Our laboratory research "Mechatronic systems." Mechatronics is a branch of engineering, locating at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, electronic, control, information and designing fields. It combines these disciplines synergistically with a unified framework to create integrated systems in order for solving problems. General mechatronic systems consist of mechanisms driven by actuators with controllers, sensors, and softwares. The application area includes: farmland, forest, desert, underwater and space, next to our daily life.

The research in Mechatronics requires multidisciplinary knowledge over the above mentioned academic fields.
The core of this emerging engineering field is an interdisciplinary approach with systems thinking. The final goal of our laboratory is to create systems that can contribute to our society. Based on this foundation, our research pursues the designing philosophy of mechatronic systems.
