Research in Human and Robotics /Exercise1

OTANI Takuya
Purpose of class
While practically conducting their research and development themes, including joint research with different fields and companies, the students will learn how to manage, design, and build robot systems as fundamental skills, especially in the field of robotics, and improve their information survey, technology acquisition, and social communication skills in carrying out their research activities.
Course content
Each student will advance their own research and development theme in a practical manner, including interdisciplinary and industry collaborations. They are expected to think independently and grow to the point of achieving outcomes that exceed the instructor’s expectations.
Goals and objectives
  1. Able to view problems from multiple perspectives and propose optimal solutions by leveraging a wide range of technologies.
  2. Able to learn and implement state-of-the-art technologies.
  3. Able to communicate effectively—including through collaboration with others—to drive problem-solving forward.
  4. Able to present at academic conferences and engage in logical, effective presentations and discussions.

Class schedule
The main projects are as follows, and a part of each project will be their own research and development theme.
Each student will be expected to consider it on his/her own and to improve his/her skills to the extent that the research results exceed the teacher’s expectations.
1. High-performance humanoid robot incorporating features of human body structure and control
2. Autonomous agricultural robots capable of performing multiple tasks
3. Control system to operate the robot like your own body
Evaluation method and criteria
Evaluation will be based on the research activities and the final presentation.
The criteria for judgment are that the research background, objectives, methods, and results should form a coherent story, and that a question-and-answer session with the audience and the reader should be possible.
Criteria for passing (60 points) The research presentation must have been reviewed by multiple faculty members.
