Experiments are conducted on specialized fields such as embedded computers in order to put the basic knowledge acquired into practice. Students improve their ability to consider and report the results through report writing, etc.
Examples of Research Topics
Development of “Robot Eye” to support victims with mobile and flying robots
Image Processing and Robotics Laboratory: Prof. Chinthaka Premachandra
We are developing “Robot Eye,” a technology to equip mobile and flying robots with cameras and sensors to give them visual functions and information analysis capabilities. The robot collects data while moving and flying over disaster-stricken areas, and analyzes the data obtained to assess the situation at the site. The obtained information can be wirelessly transmitted to rescue teams etc. in real time to provide effective assistance to disaster victims.

Examples of Activities with Overseas Partners
PBL Program for Joint Development of Electronics Engineering Systems by Japanese and Thai Students
Electromechanical Systems, Integrated Opto-Devices and Bioelectronics Laboratory + King Mongkut's University of Technology, Thailand
Students from the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering at King Mongkut's University of Technology in Thailand and our course worked on system development with the keywords of microcontroller, sensor, biosignal, light, sound, control, and communication. Students worked together for two weeks each in both countries, building a deep cooperative relationship. They developed not only knowledge of electronics, but also communication skills in English.

Example of Graduation Research
A study of waveguide-type optical isolators with a semiconductor waveguide layer
In optical communication systems, optical isolators, which exhibit non-conflicting characteristics, are indispensable elements for stabilizing the oscillation of semiconductor lasers. In the near-infrared region, optical isolators are composed of magnetic garnets with a large magneto-optical coefficient. To realize optoelectronic integrated circuits, we propose an optical isolator composed of a magnetic garnet cladding layer and a semiconductor waveguide layer, and design, produce, and evaluate the elements.
With the increase in video distribution via the Internet and rapid spread of smartphones, communication capacity continues to expand at an annual rate of 欧洲杯足彩app下载_欧洲杯下注平台-【直播*网站】 than 20%. We aim to realize optical nonrelativistic elements, which are important components in optical fiber communication systems, in a waveguide structure and to develop components for future optoelectronic integrated circuits.
Development of brain-computer interface (BCI)
We are conducting research on a brain-computer interface (BCI), a technology to bridge the gap between the brain and the computer, i.e., to read “what humans are thinking” from brain activity measured by EEG and cerebral blood flow, and conversely, to improve brain function by adjusting brain activity from the outside. The BCI will bring about a world where people can operate devices just by thinking, without using their arms and legs.
BCI provides a means for patients with severe quadriplegia caused by traffic accidents, etc., to use a keyboard by themselves, operate a motorized wheelchair as they wish, and so on. It is also expected to be a means of rehabilitation to restore brain functions in patients with brain diseases. This technology is also important for healthy people, such as detecting and reducing psychological stress that is difficult to notice from the outside.”
