We aim to realize new mobility systems by utilizing and advancing knowledge in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering,
robotics, and manufacturing engineering. In this process, students learn how to construct research scenarios, develop manufacturing
processes, and apply experimental and analytical methods through their individual research themes. Ultimately, they compile
their results and acquire presentation and communication skills by presenting their work at venues both within and outside
the university (such as academic conferences).
Robots are systems that integrate various scientific and technological fields. Robotics, which is essential for developing
these robots, is one of the fundamental technologies in the field of Mechanical Control Systems Engineering. This course goes
beyond the basic introduction to robotics and delves into the knowledge necessary for actually designing and controlling robots.
- Be able to construct a research scenario, including background, problem identification, and issue formulation.
- Be able to design systems for manufacturing by utilizing mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and devices.
- Be able to clearly plan experiments for problem-solving, build experimental and measurement apparatus, and analyze the obtained data.
- Be able to deliver a clear and highly understandable presentation on Achievement Goals 1–3 to others.

The course mainly covers the following four phases:
(1) Research Scenario Construction Phase:
① Background of the assigned theme
② Broad problem identification
③ Literature review (what research has been conducted so far)
④ Clear problem definition
(2) Manufacturing Phase:
① System design using robot structures and mechanical elements
② System design using sensors, actuators, and devices
(3) Experiment and Analysis Phase:
① Construction of experimental and measurement systems
② Data representation
③ Data analysis
(4) Presentation Phase:
① Preparation of presentations with consideration for the audience
② Conventions of engineering presentations
③ Clear objectives, solution methods, and presentation of results

The evaluation methods and criteria are as follows:
(1) Research Scenario Construction Phase: Evaluate whether the background, problem identification, context, and problem definition are clearly documented (30%).
(2) Manufacturing Phase: Evaluate whether the manufacturing work is oriented toward solving the assigned problem (30%).
(3) Experiment and Analysis Phase: Evaluate whether the experimental plan is designed to solve the problem and whether the analysis is conducted with the problem in mind (30%).
(4) Presentation Phase: Evaluate whether the materials and presentation techniques for (1)–(3) are prepared with the audience’s understanding in mind (10%).
A score of 60 points is given when the manufacturing work is problem-oriented and quantitative data demonstrating problem-solving is obtained. If the student demonstrates strong literature research, creative ideas, and audience-conscious presentation skills, a score of 80 points or higher can be awarded.
