This lab is now called Fujimoto- Shimizu- Fujita -Nagai-Gunji Laboratory where you have the opportunities to do the research about various topics . Whomever you are assigned to, you will have the chance to talk with all of the professors in this lab. Most professors will be in the same room with you and there are tons of chances for you to have a casual chat or a serious research talk.
The fields of research we are handling are as follows: control theory and its practical use, digital control, motion control, robotics, electric vehicles, wireless power transfer, power electronics, and electric airplanes. Control theory is being applied in robots, motors, and actuators, NC machine tools, magnetic and photonic disc drives, motion controls of vehicles and aircrafts, rolling mills, plants, etc., as an essential tool for broad applications. It is now a common practice to pre-load control algorithms into computers or controllers, but developments of more high function and complex algorithms are still in serious need. Fujimoto-Shimizu-Fujita Laboratory is actively developing new control theories for different applications.
Control engineering has a broad area of study. You will learn from mathematics as the basis to classical and modern/advanced control theory, from software to hardware. Because it is a study that goes across many different applications, it is said that control engineers will always be able to get a job anywhere, so we highly recommend this field of study to students who want to take parts in multidisciplinary career. Although the goal is simply to "move something", you will have to learn thoroughly from basic theory to implementation techniques.
Undoubtedly, the laboratory is for the student members. We always aim to make this place a laboratory which students are active and in great motivation. We will support the students with high motivations by letting them experience not only difficulties but also the fun aspect of the research at the same time. Visits of prospective students are greatly encouraged, and we recommend you to attend the laboratory tours held in May and October, where you can see and discuss in depth about our laboratory. Laboratory tour information will be updated in "what's new" section in the top page.
You will join study sessions a few times a week during the first semester. At the same time you will have discussions regarding your topic of interest in individual meetings, laboratory meetings, and team meetings. When you produce results, you will present it in domestic and international conferences. We have relationships with several electronic manufacturers, automobile manufacturers and academic institutes. You may even be possible to visit or stay at different institutes for a few weeks to months to conduct experiments as a part of cooperative research projects. We strongly believe that the experience at the forefront research scene such as experiences at top companies can make a student a spectacular researcher. We expect energetic students who are willing to cope with the difficulties and face new challenges. We will always provide the greatest support to those with the greatest motivation and effort.

There are 5 doctoral course students, 13 master's course students, and 3 senior-year undergraduates (April,2022). Many students come from other universities and technical colleges.
