We introduce a prosthetic hand applying state-of-the-art electrical technology. The hand transmits the haptic sense, and it is possible for a wearer to operate without discomfort. Even people who lost their arms can feel the sense through a healthy part of their body. This enables them to grasp complicated shape objects softly.

We research on production process of optical elements, analyzing the sub-surface damage due to nanoscale cutting and grinding of optical materials. In addition, we are working on development of intelligent machine tools which have ability to control machining force and vibration according to cutting state. In our booth, we will exhibit samples of optical elements produced by ultra-precision machining and show the developed intelligent machine tools.

This project develops a multi-function robot system for smart agriculture. This system consists of base module, functional module and interface to satisfy system requirements against physical size, just in time production and low cost.

Metal 3D printing attracts much attention from various industries because of its applicability to complex-shaped production with high efficiency. This study is now focusing on direct energy deposition, which deposits powder material with a high-power laser, in order to produce a dissimilar-metal joint, a foam metal structure, and construct a time-domain thermal simulation.
