About the Education Program

In addition to general education, students will systematically study specialized fields of electronics.

We train engineers with specialized knowledge of electronic engineering, including electronic devices, electronic circuits, and computer engineering; specialized knowledge of electrical engineering, including the generation and supply of electrical energy, the equipment and systems for utilizing electrical energy, and their control; and specialized knowledge of information and communications, including signal processing, communication methods and systems, and quantum measurement.
In the first year, students will study common subjects for the Faculty Faculty of Science and Engineering, as well as common subjects for natural sciences and information sciences, to develop the foundations of science and engineering and acquire the ability to use data.
In the second year, students will study the basics of other courses through specialized foundation subjects to improve their basic engineering skills, and will also begin studying course subjects. In addition, students will learn the basics of semiconductor engineering regardless of their specialty.

About the classes

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Experiments A and B

Students will deepen their understanding of the basic subjects of electrical engineering and electronics by confirming the basic laws and characteristics of electrical measurement, control, communication, power, high voltage, electrical equipment, and optoelectronics that they have learned up to the third year through actual experiments. Through this course, students will also learn the operating principles and operation methods of basic measuring equipment. In this photo, the characteristics of a motor and a generator are being investigated. After confirming the method, students will work together to carry out the experiment.

About the Research

Development of a four-legged running robot with elastic legs

By utilizing the frequency entrainment phenomenon of nonlinear oscillators, it is possible to synchronize multiple systems that are vibrating independently. In this research, we have developed a four-legged robot with springs attached to the legs as shown in the figure, and aim to achieve high-speed running by utilizing the vibration of the springs. By appropriately synchronizing the leg motion and spring vibration using the frequency entrainment phenomenon, the elastic energy of the spring can be efficiently amplified, and efficient running can be expected by utilizing this elastic energy. Currently, with this robot, hopping motion and bounding running in all directions can be achieved by appropriately synchronizing the motion of each leg with the vibration of the springs and changing the synchronization timing of the four legs.
