Supervisor

Professor / Kiyoshi OHISHI and Associate Professor / Yuki YOKOKURA
Profs. Ohishi and Yokokura are cheerful and energetic, always kindly looking after students. Both are specialists in robotics and control engineering. Prof. Ohishi's favorite sport is baseball, and he is a fan of the Chunichi Dragons.

Research Content

Motion control is the branch of control engineering focused on the control of motion of motors, robots, etc.
In our lab we develop practical control algorithms for high-performance motion of robots, vehicles, motor drive systems and many other mechatronic systems. Research validation is done through numerical simulation and experiment, using software such as MATLAB for simulations, and our in-house developed ARCS software for experiments. We collaborate with many companies on joint research ventures and present our research results every year on domestic and international conferences, and academic journals.

Experiment with industrial robot. Applying motion control, the heavy robot is lightly moved by human.

A Day in the Lab

A day in the Motion Control Lab is split between study, simulations and experiments, and we conduct progress report presentations once a week where professors give useful feedback for our research. Students present their research results each year in domestic and international conferences, allowing us to discuss and network with other professionals of motion control.
We have a very friendly environment where you can ask fellow labmates or professors for help whenever you need it. 
Each year we have several events such as softball and futsal competitions, Hanami, lab yearly trip, Nagaoka fireworks, BBQ parties and more!
