We are pleased to welcome five new fourth-year undergraduate students and two first-year master’s students to our laboratory! Welcome to HCR Laboratory!
We presented our work at SII 2026 (@Cancun).
The IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration (SII 2026) was held in Cancun from Monday, January 12 to Wednesday, January 14, 2026. At this symposium, Katamine (M2), Kanekiyo (M2), Morita (M2), Tokiwa (M2), and Koreki (M1) gave presentations. For further details, please refer to the conference proceedings.
Research Experience Program for Prospective B3 Students
From October to December, a twice-weekly research experience was offered for B3 students. Two students participated in our lab, gaining hands-on experience in robot design and control. The experience included: Position control of a 2-link manipulator using MATLAB/Simulink Design and control of a 2-link drawing robot using 3D CAD Through this program, students learned the fundamentals of robot design and control not only theoretically, but…

Mr. Nakamura, an alumnus of our lab who completed his master’s degree in 2023, and Associate Professor Arita have had their co-first-authored paper accepted for publication in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters!
Mr. Nakamura, an alumnus of our lab who completed his master’s degree in 2023, and Associate Professor Arita have had their co-first-authored paper accepted for publication in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters. This paper proposes a novel method for optimizing parameters in impact mitigation strategies using proximity sensors. By reformulating the sensor output, the problem is reinterpreted as a geometric one, enabling parameter optimization without…
New members have been assigned!
Six B4, one M1, and one GC-B3 were newly assigned!
