(Higuchi Lab + Yamamoto Lab)

Department of Precision Engineering
School of Engineering, The University of Tokyo

research

Our Mission is to develop innovative mechatronic technologies that contribute to industrial & scientific progress. Especially, we are focusing on novel actuators, sensors and mechanisms, as well as applied mechatronics systems such as bio-medical tools and human-computer interaction devices.


Keywords of the research fieldsFElectrostatic Actuator, Piezoelectric Actuator, Magnetostrictive Actuator, Linear Motor, Electrostatic Levitation, Magnetic Levitation, Magnetic Bearing, Ultra-Precision Machining, Computer-Human Interface, Haptic Device, Tactile Display, Piezo Micro Manipulator, Bio-Imaging, microTAS, etc.
We have launched a joint research laboratory named "UT-lab" within Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Lausanne, the Switzerland. The UT-lab aims to develop novel haptic technology, as well as to tighten collaboration and exchanges between EPFL and our university.
