Research Outline

Research in the Design System Laboratory aims to develop design support systems based on the mechanical engineering. The system supports the work of designers/engineers, fostering idea generation and enhancing their capacity to create products.

Current research focuses on the development of design support systems that facilitate computational simulations based on computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided engineering (CAE) to enhance design and production at an early phase, referred to as conceptual and embodiment design, in order to help achieve a sustainable world.

Our systems can be applied to the design of diverse industrial products from, for example, the automobile, airline, building, and home appliance industries. It is the hope of our research to make designers' dreams a reality.

International Collaboration

We actively pursue collaborative research with universities in Europe and Asia, and are often visited by research scholars from Germany and various countries.
