Division of Human Mechanical Systems and Design

人間機械システムデザイン専攻

The establishment of engineering fields that create machines supporting human activities and health multidimensionally, directly related to the activities, life and living environments of humans, are highly anticipated in society and industries, with the hope of realizing safe and reliable social environments. It is now more important than ever to accumulate the fundamental technologies for a “man-machine” system that is smart (accurate, meticulous, innovative, highly functional, intelligent, autonomous, limited secondary effects) and micro (operates whenever, wherever, is site-specific, distributed and localized) to establish creative design methodologies applicable to the development of machines that can learn from, travel with and adapt to humans. With an eye set on the arrival of the advanced human-centric society, we aim at fostering human resources who can support the activities, life and health of humans in order to maximize their degrees of freedom, creating a “man-machine” system and conducting the engineering research and development necessary for its realization. This course aims to conduct advanced research on “man-machine” systems that support new life and living by using bioengineering, robotics and control engineering, which are based on mechanical engineering, as well as offering specialized education related to these fields.
