"Sensing engineering" is the research field that creates new technologies through measurements using sensing systems and devices. "High precision sensing" enables the establishment of high-performance machines (e.g., ultra-low fuel consumption cars, long-lived satellites, etc.). "Micro-Nano Sensing" enables the intelligence of mechanical systems (e.g., robots, automatic driving, etc.). "Intelligent sensing" enables the further development of machines (e.g., Ultra-high precision systems using artificial intelligence, etc.).
 
Our goal is to become a pioneer of a new research field of sensing engineering, aiming at technological innovation for "High precision sensing," "Micro-Nano Sensing", and "Intelligent sensing". We collaborate with the Graduate School of Informatics (Ohka Lab. and Zhang Lab.) to apply information technology such as machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to sensing engineering. Our research has a wide range of applications, including "high-precision mechanical systems" (e.g., smartphone memories and hard disk drives, etc.), "mechanical mobility systems" (e.g., automobile engines, etc.), "medical and bio-applied systems" (e.g., artificial joints and DNA analysis chips, etc.), and "micro-nano machines" Our research has attracted the attention of companies.
