Video Profiles

Kohei Kimura (Innovation)

Transformable and Multipurpose robotics

The research led by Kohei Kimura at the Department of Informatics, Graduate School of Informatics and Engineering, focuses on developing robots with “transformable” and “multipurpose” capabilities. The aim is to create adaptable robots that can change their shape to suit different environments and perform various tasks using a single robotic form.

Yuri Shinohara (Research)

Advanced analysis of martensite microstructures based on crystallography and kinematics

Yuri Shinohara focuses her research on metallography and crystallography, particularly the study of martensitic transformation in metallic materials. This non-diffusive crystal structure change is significant for its broad industrial applications. A key example of martensitic transformation is observed in iron, where austenite converts to martensite upon cooling and reverts upon heating. This transformation underlies applications in shape memory alloys (SMAs), such as nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloys, which revert to their original shape upon heating after deformation. Additionally, martensite formation is critical in strengthening materials like martensitic stainless steels used for high-strength fasteners.

Yoshihiro Nakata‘s pneumatically-driven edible robot

Food Psychology: Moving food sensation

Now, Yoshihiro Nakata from The University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, and colleagues have developed a moving, edible robot based on gelatin and sugar [1]. Introducing the concept of human–edible robot interaction, they demonstrated that the robot enables controlled experiments probing the human psychology of animated food consumption.

Hideo Isshiki’s thin film transistor

Layer-by-layer copper aluminum oxide films for advanced p-type thin film transistors

Most field-effect transistors are of the so-called n-type, meaning that the relevant charge carriers are electrons, which are negatively charged. Transistors in which positively charged ‘holes’ — local electron deficiencies — conduct the current are known as p-type. Generally, electrons are more mobile than holes, which is one of the reasons n-type TFTs are more commonly used. Yet, p-type TFTs are also valuable for complementary MOS(CMOS) system contributing to low power consumption, which is why Isshiki and colleagues aimed to develop a p-type TFT that can be relatively easily manufactured and has good device characteristics.
