Department Features

Students will discover the excitement of robot-making and acquire advanced engineering technologies.

When people hear the word "robot," they often imagine a humanoid robot, but in reality, robots come in many shapes and sizes and are used in various aspects of society. For example, automatic coffee makers, automated doors, and elevators are also types of robots, as are self-driving cars—an evolution that's almost ready for practical application. These robots are built using mechanical, electrical, electronic, and information engineering technologies. In the Department of Advanced Robotics, students begin building robots in their first year. They receive a comprehensive education that provides a solid engineering foundation in design, circuitry, programming, and control. With the knowledge and technical skills to turn their ideas into reality, our graduates go on to succeed in a wide range of fields.

  • Diploma Policy

Curriculum Highlights

  1. 1st year

    Take on the challenge of building robots and exploring their potential

    Right after entering the school, students are challenged to build robots. The curriculum is designed to allow smooth learning even without prior engineering knowledge, enabling students to first experience the excitement of robot building and understand the knowledge and skills required.

  2. 2nd year

    Learn the theory of robot-making and enhance skills through practical training

    Students will learn the fundamental theories of robotics, including control engineering, mechanics, and electrical and electronic circuits, while strengthening their skills through structured practical exercises. This solidifies the basics of robot-making and prepares students for more specialized learning in their third year and beyond.

  3. 3rd year

    Choose a research laboratory in the first semester and gain advanced knowledge through specialized courses

    Specialized courses will begin in earnest, allowing students to acquire advanced knowledge. As they select courses that interest them, students will refine their research topics and join a research laboratory. They will also develop problem-solving skills and presentation techniques.

  4. 4th year

    Take on graduation research by applying the knowledge and skills learned

    As the culmination of their studies, students will undertake graduation research. Using the knowledge and skills they have acquired, they will design robots with specific functions and explore the development of new technologies and theories, further strengthening their expertise.

Student Voice

Yuma Ito (older brother, right), 4th year Yamaguchi Prefecture / Graduate of Shinnanyo High School Shuma Ito (younger brother, left), 3rd year Yamaguchi Prefecture / Graduate of Shinnanyo High School

I want to solve societal problems through ideas and creativity.
My brother and I are committed to robotics research.

I had a clear goal of studying robotics, but initially, I was considering staying in my hometown of Yamaguchi for university, so I struggled with choosing the right one. That’s when a teacher at my preparatory school told me about a great university, which became the turning point in my decision. As soon as I entered the university, I was able to start working on robotics practically, and in the research lab, I’m developing a transport robot in collaboration with a company (Yuma, my older brother).
My older brother told me that Chiba Institute of Technology has a well-equipped robotics research environment, and I wanted to study in such an environment too, so I decided to pursue my studies here. Now, I am challenging myself to develop useful robots for society in the same research lab as my brother (Shuuma, the younger brother).
