【Event】Professor Daisuke Chugo (Service Robotics Laboratory) will be exhibiting the Eco Brake wheelchair at Yokohama Robot World 2023 (Service Robot Exhibition / Exhibitor List) being held at Pacifico Yokohama on November 8th and 9th, 2023. "Eco Brake Wheelchair" is a driving support device for manual wheelchairs. By attaching brake units equipped with this technology to both the left and right wheels of a JIS-standard manual wheelchair, the wheelchair can be maneuvered even on slopes as if it were on flat ground. This is a system that supports operations. You can try the Eco Brake wheelchair prototype at Pacifico Yokohama Hall A, booth 4-17. Please come and visit us.

Department of Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Mechanical Engineering Course has opened.

An engineering course to learn from basics to applications of artificial intelligence and mathematical machines

In the Intelligent and Mechanical Engineering course, students can learn various knowledge and techniques for building intelligent mechanical systems from the basics of artificial intelligence and mechanical engineering. In addition, students can acquire design and development technology that integrates different fields between an artificial intelligence system based on machine learning and a mechanical system based on mathematical models and biological mechanisms. You can also experience cutting-edge research that covers both artificial intelligence and mechanical engineering, such as intelligent robotics.
