Fatigue fracture mechanisms of CFRP composite pressure vessels are evaluated through experimental and simulation approaches.

Lizard-like mobile robot: it is able to perform various locomotion.

The figure shows the isolation device using rhombus links. This device is able to improve the isolation effect maintaining support of an object, because rhombus links realize the negative stiffness.

Flow simulation with patient-specific cerebral vasculature geometry which is intended to help prediction of development and rupture of an aneurysm and design of a treatment plan.

Track-changeable quadruped walking robot: this robot succeeded in climbing 420mm-high steps by rear leg support.

Large-scale parallel computing of the flow of red blood cells passing through an ateriole. Dynamic behaviors of red blood cells inside a blood vessel are manifested.

A magnetic suspension carrier system can be transported smoothly due to free from friction, dust and lubrication.

Electret film sensors with microgaps (FilmECS) are studied to develop flexible and pressure resistant sensors. We expect that the FilmECS could be easily fixed on any components with complicated shapes and measure multiple mechanical signals (pressure, vibration, acceleration, audible sound, and ultrasound).
