Satoshi SuzukiTenure-track Assistant ProfessorMoving, thinking, and working autonomously: Implementing an autonomous robotDivision of Mechanical Engineering and RoboticsI am engaged in research from the standpoint of control engineering and robotics with the goal of implementing an autonomous robot that can think, move, and work on its own. My lab has developed numerous small aerial and terrestrial robots as well as motion control systems, external environment sensing systems, and robot cooperative behavior control systems.This autonomous, small-scale unmanned helicopter, one of our aerial robots, can y without human operation using autonomous control technology.After completing the second-semester doctoral course at Chiba University, Satoshi Suzuki worked as a researcher at the university before taking his current position in 2009. He is currently working on autonomous robots such as an autonomous, unmanned helicopter. His principal areas of research include control engineering, robotics, and control applications.My goal is to create robots that can replace human work in dangerous areas and extreme environments such as disaster response and rescue activities and to develop robot systems that can work under all terrain and environmental conditions through the collaboration of multiple types of robots.Outlook for researchGraduates are able to go to work immediately in many elds since they not only study machine engineering, but also master many other skills, including electricity and electronic circuits, control engineering, and programming.Outlook for students after graduationMy rst goal is to achieve collaboration between aerial and terrestrial robots.The devices used to control the robots are developed entirely from scratch.Functional Machinery and Mechanics23
