This course provides research supervision on next-generation mechatronics systems that integrate mechanical engineering and
electrical engineering with computer science.
The research topics include, for example, control systems for remote surgical robots, mobility systems that adapt to road environment information, and AI-based control of manufacturing equipment. Individual research themes are determined according to each student’s aptitude and interests.
The goal is to produce research outcomes of a standard suitable for oral presentation at international conferences and publication in peer-reviewed journals.

- Understand how to configure a mechatronics system.
- Understand mechanical design methods in mechatronics systems.
- Understand how to design electrical circuits in mechatronics systems.
- Understand software design methods in mechatronics systems.
Students will comprehensively learn the system architecture, mechanical design methods, electrical circuit design methods,
and software design methods of mechatronics systems as research topics, and will carry out the entire process through experimental
validation using actual hardware.
In addition, students will develop the ability to disseminate research outcomes through oral or poster presentations at external academic conferences and workshops, as well as through submissions to academic journals.
