ProfessorKAWAMURA TakashiProfessorKIM Ick Soo'Nano-Fiber Changes the Industry Structure' 16Outlook for researchTo develop mechatronics robots,isnecessary to design systems based on awide range of engineering knowledgealong with observation, understanding,and evaluation of motion. I aim to designfunctionalhighlyeasy-to-use,mechatronics systems.Outlook for students after graduationMechatronics is a comprehensive technologyandcombining machines,information control. Graduatescan beexpected to find jobs as mechatronicsengineers, which are in high demand in theworld today.Outlook for researchWe have succeeded in developing variousnano products such as high performancefilters, waterproofnano wipers,separators, All-solid-state battery electrolytemembrane, Proton Exchange Membrane FuelCells, masks, etc., and also succeeded indeveloping a nanofiber mass productionplant. In the future, nanofibers will be usedin wide range products.jackets,Outlook for students after graduationIn addition to the textile industry, we areactive in various fields such as electronics,semiconductor, and machinery.medical,their ownSome students aim to startbusinesses.Department of Machinery and RoboticsFunctional Machineryand MechanicsDepartment of Machinery and RoboticsFunctional Machineryand MechanicsProfessor Kawamura first came to theFaculty of Textile Science and Technologyat Shinshu University as an assistantprofessor. After subsequently working as asenior assistant professor and an assistantprofessor, he took his current position in2019.In 1996, he served as a visitingresearcher at the University of Illinois. Hisinterests include mechatronics, intelligentcontrol, robots capable of learning theskills of living things, kansei (sensitivity)robotics, and human dynamics.After working as a researcher at OakRidge National Laboratory in U.S.A anda lecturer, Associate Professor, Risingstar Prof., he assumed his currentpositionDistinguished2018.Professor in 2022, His main researchfields are Creation of nanofibers. Theproduction ofworld'snanofibers was successful.am working to develop robots capable of competing with human teams in the sport of curling. These robots sense minute changes in the surface of the ice and prepare strategies to play.Robotic mechanisms handle metal sheets (left), turn pages based on the same principles as the human hand (upper right), and flap wings based on a dragonfly (lower right).“Nanofibers” are fibers with a diameter of several tens to severalhundreds of nanometers, and have unique properties that arecompletely different from conventional fibers. By making the fibersas thin as possible, filtering and purifying foreign substances thatcould not be collected so far, improving the performance of fuelcells by increasing the efficiency of electrical reactions, highperformance sensors, artificial skin, artificial blood vessels, cells,High efficiency in the medical field such as high-speed culture isexpected.itelectronics,I am pursuing research into mechatronics robots based onmechanical engineering. The key word in this endeavor is“skills.” My lab focuses on observing the skills of living thingsnurtured through evolution and in daily life and analyzingthem from an engineering standpoint to understand theirnature and significance for building systems.Successfully developed nanofiber productsThe world's first pilot-scale nanofiber mass productionmachine that was successfully developed(Left)Fabricated nanofiber nonwoven fabric (Right)infirst massMake fibers as thin as possible!
