In our laboratory, we are divided into three groups: the "Vehicle Group", the "Process Group", and the "Visual Control Group".
Vehicle Team
The Vehicle Group of the System Control Laboratory conducts a wide range of research on mobile objects such as automobiles, drones, and robots, from the application of control theory to autonomous driving technology. We use modeling, simulation, and the latest sensor technology to improve the accuracy of position estimation and environmental awareness. In addition, we have adopted the development of algorithms for optimizing the motion of vehicles and an experimental approach using actual vehicles, and are developing comprehensive research that combines theory and practice.
Process Team
The Process Group of the Systems Control Laboratory mainly conducts research on industrial processes such as chemical plants, production lines, and energy systems. We are working on the development and optimization of control methods for complex processes, the construction of mathematical models and system identification, and the development of optimal control algorithms to improve efficiency and quality.
Visual Control Team
The Visual Control Group of the System Control Laboratory focuses on the research and development of control systems using visual sensors such as cameras. We are conducting research on the application of real-time image processing technology and computer vision technology such as object recognition, pose estimation, and 3D reconstruction to control. We are also working on the use of visual servoing, machine learning technologies, and the development of robust control systems with multi-sensor integration. These technologies have been applied to fields such as robot manipulation, autonomous driving, and drone control, and we are also researching algorithms and hardware to realize high-speed image processing and control.
