In the Department of Information and Electronic Engineering, 1st to 3rd grade students belong to the laboratory and carry out "research internships" to participate in research activities. Working on common tasks with 4th grade and Graduate School working on graduation research is a valuable experience that cannot be obtained in regular classes, and it is greatly utilized in the subsequent selection of research subjects and job hunting.
Arai Lab
Arai Laboratory is conducting research on "cognitive information engineering," which is the specialty of the Professor, to make computers recognize phenomena in human society and the natural world, and conversely, to visualize programs inside computers so that they can be easily recognized by humans. Is proceeding. In research on pattern recognition, we are developing handwritten character writer identification, manga character recognition, line-of-sight recognition, cloud cover and cloud flow recognition, and crime prevention systems using pattern recognition technology. We also conduct research on natural language processing, such as automatic report evaluation, extraction of popular words from magazines, summary of terms of use, and text mining from medical information. The theme of the research to visualize the processing inside the computer is the visualization of programs such as Java applets and C ++, and the TCP / IP protocol.
Ogawa Lab
Ogawa Laboratory is researching biometric technologies such as biolight / electrical measurement and human support engineering using ICT (programming, communication) with the aim of contributing to the medical welfare field and other fields. .. The intern recruitment themes so far have been a medication support system for the elderly using AR (augmented reality) compatible with iOS (iPhone, iPad), a color vision disorder support application for Android tablets, and stress evaluation by biometric measurement. Development of a media evaluation and design support system based on Android, and a watching-type nursing care robot system that imitates the palm of a nurse. We mainly focus on system development.
Kondo Lab
The Kondo laboratory, which studies "light" and "3D", has themes such as various theories and simulations related to light, the development of new cameras and displays for 3D images, and the development of 3D-related information systems. One of the intern recruitment themes so far is, for example, a defect inspection of solar panels using solar surface biased lock-in thermal image measurement. This is intended to reduce power and labor through remote control. In addition, we also conducted research on 3D shape measurement of translucent objects using a far-infrared camera. This is a combination of "photogrammetry" that reconstructs a solid from a 2D image group and far-infrared image technology. The purpose is to utilize it for 3D automatic measurement of translucent objects that were difficult in the past, such as obsidian stone tools.
Yamane Lab
At the "Brain Information Processing Laboratory" (Yamane Laboratory), we will elucidate the information processing mechanism of the brain, realize the engineering of flexible thinking like animals and humans, and develop a brain-type information processing system that is useful in the real world. We are conducting research for the purpose of (human assistance technology). An example of recruiting internships for first to third year undergraduate students is research in which a robot is equipped with a brain-type reasoning engine to make various inferences in the real world. The intern will support the production of the robot. Regarding the hardware of the robot, nothing has been decided at the beginning, and although there is guidance on the specifications, basically the students will proceed with the production independently. The feature is that you can experience programming, electrical and electronic circuits, English, and robotics while participating in research with a high degree of freedom.
