Founding Spirit

Message from the President

Respect for Practical Study

Understand that Internet of Things (IoT) is now base of Society;make it as food for the mind to nourish the next 100 years

Tokyo Denki University (TDU) was founded in 1907 by two young engineers who played active roles in theindustrial world, Seiichi Hirota and Shinkichi Ogimoto, to concretize their sublime idea, “Promoting engineering
education is indeed the foundation for the development of a nation.” Through its solid and diligent academic
culture, TDU has been fostering students for more than a century with the mission, “Development of Human
Resources Who Contribute to Society by Technology.” TDU also has been providing quality instruction basedon the two educational maxims: “Respect for Practical Study” and “Students First.” TDU continues to cultivate
excellent human resources to meet the needs of society, changing with the times to make significant
contributions to the development of Japan’s science and technology.

Since its founding more than a century ago, TDU has made significant contributions to society, especially inscience and technology. Our mission is to continue this good tradition of cultivating highly advanced andspecialized engineers and researchers who exemplify our founding spirit, “Respect for Practical Study,” in action.
In retrospect, the twentieth century was an era in which Monozukuri, that is, “craftsmanship in manufacturing”,
enriched all our lives. Now, nearly two decades since the turn of the century, we must apply that same standard of
excellence to producing not only materials but also minds – minds that are prepared to “Make knowledge become areality” in a new way of contributing to society. This century’s most important factory floor will be in IoT, where
goods, knowledge, and ideas are inseparable. Therefore, we need engineers and researchers who can ensure thatpeople who live in the IoT remain safe and secure, and who can enrich people’s lives by building wisdom andsensibility into everything produced, fostering Monozukuri within both “head and heart.”
The educators who guide our graduates recognize this trend, and know they are responsible for nurturing theyoung people who study at TDU. They also should emphasize how important respect of people who have different
cultural backgrounds is, since the world will become more borderless and, therefore, multicultural interaction will
become much more frequent and inevitable in this movement. They understand that what should be learned, whatgoals and dreams should be realized, and what we should contribute to society must harmonize with cyberspace. In
this century, TDU will go through rapid and profound changes. To make our next 100 years shine, it is important that“all those who come to TDU regard the change and harmony as food for the mind, and keep contributing to society.”To that end, TDU continues to position itself for the future, and is ready to launch you toward the next 100 years.

Fundamental Educational and Research Ideal

In the Technology Breathes its CreatorThis is the motto of Yasujiro Niwa, widely known as the inventor of phototelegraphic transmission facsimile(Fax machine) and one of the ten greatest inventors in Japan, as selected by Japan Patent Office. He was also
the first president of TDU and its graduate schools. His phrase has been adopted as TDU’s fundamental
educational and research ideal and guiding light. Niwa’s words mean that a comprehensive technology
embodies the engineer’s character and ideas, and thus it is critical to cultivate engineers who can pursue theessence of technology and create new values with a broad vision.

Distinctive Graduates

A “School for Engineers” – Established by Young Engineers

There are over 210,000 TDU graduates. TDU has brought essence of science and technology to the world and has made multiple
effects on actual social activities such as R&D, dissemination of frontier technology and corporation management. TDU graduates
have been making great achievements in not only in Japan but also in the whole world.

TDU established in 1907 as Denki School in the Kanda district of Tokyo, began as an
evening vocational school with the founding mission of preparing for industrial
expansion by “fostering engineers who can play significant roles in society andindustry.” Although superior technologies and up-to-date machines had been importedwith rapidity, influenced by westernization, there were only a few engineers who could
take advantage of these technologies and machines. The co-founders, two young
engineers, Seiichi Hirota and Shinkichi Ogimoto, understood that this was a huge
obstacle that would inhibit Japan’s development, and knew that engineering education
was needed to form a solid foundation for national development. To meet this need, they
established the School and opened their doors to those eager to study engineering.
Although the School began with just fourteen students, its value, driven by the founders’passion and educational ideals, were recognized immediately: “There is no educationthat is as innovative, creative, and motivated as Denki School.” For the next century, theschool’s enrollment grew rapidly and students embraced TDU’s spirit and goodtraditions. In 2007, TDU marked its 100th anniversary, and continues to advance toward
the next one hundred years.

TDU graduate Satoshi Shigemi has been directing the development of the Honda’s humanoid
robot, ASIMO, as the company’s supervisor of robot development. Honda R&D Co., Ltd.
started its humanoid robot research and development in 1986, and Shigemi has been
engaged in the project since its inception. The project’s goal is to develop a robot thatinteracts with people, serves their needs, and gains their favor. The project began withresearch of “human movement,” when the team tackled the challenges developing a robotthat could easily walk, run, and grab – actions people do unconsciously. Their persistentefforts finally have borne fruit; the original ASIMO was born in 2000. The 2011 evolution of
ASIMO has the world’s first autonomous behavior control technology. Shigemi says hedeveloped his interest in technological fields in TDU’s free atmosphere; since then he has
broadened his view of the engineering world with ASIMO’s development. “The greatest
pleasure of this project is discovering so much about how great human beings are, though a
lot remains to be accomplished.” ASIMO will keep evolving until the dream of “helping
people and enriching their lives” comes true.

1949 • Denki School became Tokyo Denki

Kashio was touched by Edison’s biography and aimed to be an inventor. He recalled that his
studies at Denki School (now TDU) were of great benefit in his subsequent R&D projects.
Always an original thinker interested in pursuing the nature of things, Kashio spent sevenyears commercializing a compact all-electric calculator, and then did the same for watchesand electronic musical instruments based on what he’d learned from the calculator’s
technologies. He developed the first world’s automatic calendar wristwatch, CASIOTRON,
in 1974. The G-SHOCK, a shock-resistant wristwatch evolved from CASIOTRON in 1983.
This evolution established a new concept of wristwatches – and made the brand CASIO aworldwide name. “I invent things we need but that nobody in the world has yet noticed weneed.” Kashio famously said, “Don’t let your dream be just a dream; make it real. Reach forthe sky.”

We have been developing a small flapping
robot modeled after a butterfly that has a
low flapping frequency and a few degrees
of freedom of the wings as an observation
system in narrow spaces. To realize
practical flight of the robot, we analyzed
the flight characteristics of a butterfly by
performing experiments and using
numerical simulations.

This research proposes a collective
movement control method for a swarm
robot system based on the internal energy
and the phase transition in athermodynamic model. This system canmove around obstacles in an environment
by flexibly changing the aggregation shapein response to virtual attraction andrepulsion forces calculated by the model.

This provides a new tape measure. The
tape is a kind of touch panel with long
length and flexibility. The location data ofthe touched point on the surface is
automatically registered in a PC. Whentwo points are touched simultaneously the
distance data between the two points ismeasured.

In thoracoscopic surgery, it is difficult forsurgeons to feel tactile sense because thesurgery is conducted by using special
endoscopic instruments. To assist thetactile sense of surgeons, we developed agrasping forceps with MEMS (Micro
Electro Mechanical Systems) sensors. We
can estimate the stiffness of the target
objects by using these forceps.

complexes, which show color change
repeatedly responding to several stimuli:
oxygen in air, hydronium ion (pH), andheavy-metal ions in water. The reversible
color change is useful for detecting acertain target substance. Some polymer
complexes display photo-reversible
adsorption of oxygen or metal ions.

Machining processes of advanced
materials used for aerospace, automobile,
information technology, energy andmedical industries were studied toachieve high machining qualities at highmachining rates.
The machining phenomena are modelledscientifically to control the processes

We aim to realize a secure and user-friendly information environment based on computer networks and artificial
intelligence. The advancement of computers and networks has enabled fast and rich communication among people. On
the other hand, cyber-attacks and cyber-crimes have become major threats to human lives over the same period.
Cyber security technologies are remedies for such situations, but, at the same time, they tend to limit the usefulness of
information and communication technology. We believe artificial intelligence (AI) can be a solution to resolve suchtrade-offs. We develop a smart authentication mechanism which is mainly meant for public WiFi access services,where new standards such as IEEE 802.11u or FIDO are utilized forproviding easy and secure Internet access and smart software agentshelp users in secure and easy access to such systems. We also work on
AI-enabled cyber security. Recent cyber security solutions have begun
to utilize AI for the detection of and the protection against
cyber-attacks, while attackers are beginning to apply AI for their own
purpose. In the near future, the confrontation between cyber-attacks
and defenses will be that among AI-enabled systems. We are building asimulation system to analyze such situations.

The main research themes in the Energy and Environmental System Laboratory are planning, operating, controllingenergy systems, and environmental assessments. Our program especially addresses the assessment of recyclable
energy and how to take countermeasures against the negative effects when they aredetected. We objectively conduct research regarding what will happen to our society
when photovoltaics and wind electricity become more prevalent, and how we canpromote such green power technologies if they have caused any concerns.
Another important research topic is “smart communities,” a theme we cover in across-disciplinary manner within TDU, conducting research to promote regional
optimal design for not only electricity generation but also thermal energy andtransportation infrastructure. The purpose is to establish efficient energy systems
that are also cost-effective, such as the use of waste-driven electricity systems for
power generation. We seek opportunities to provide electricity to local communities
from waste disposal centers, during the aftermath of huge natural disasters thatinterrupt ordinary electricity supplies.

Architecture and Design Laboratory

Cellular Biochemical Laboratory

Drives research that regards “architectural planning” and“environmental behavior” as two sides of the same coin

Conducts research regarding cellular life cycles, making contribution to
the medical sector, such as cancer management

Associate Professor Asuka Yamada

Professor Yukitoshi Nagahara

Department of Architecture
School of Science and Technology for Future Life

Division of Life Science and Engineering
School of Science and Engineering

Our laboratory, which specializes in architectural planning and environmental behavior research, has been studying
educational, medical, and welfare facilities. Our goal is to support people who are easily affected by their environment,
and to accommodate their independent lives by improving their surroundings.
In Architectural Planning, our team studies prior phases of execution design, such as identifying a building’s target users
and uses, usability, security, and comfort, and then provide recommendations to the property owners, or our clients,
based on our research.
In Environmental Behavior, on the other hand, we focus on the relationship between humans and the environment itself,and study human psychology and behavior under certain settings.
Conducting research that integrates both architectural planning and environmental
behavior studies provides a broader perspective for the future needs of society andhelps us predict what kinds of buildings we may need to construct beyond the current
paradigm (for example, school facilities should be planned with considerations beyond
a construction framework and should take into account the population and purpose of
those schools). As a result, we can provide fruitful recommendations to prospective
stakeholders. For instance, we designed a facility for elderly people and a playroom
for children in a medical facility in conjunction with the concerned parties.

We are focusing on the cellular function during cellular life – from birth, growth, differentiation, and finally, death.
Programmed cell death, or so-called apoptosis, occurs to eliminate unnecessary cells (reaching the life expectancy or
suffering injury and cannot function normally) for the body. The dying cell is eaten by the phagocytes and extinguishes
itself. Once these cellular suicide mechanisms are collapsed, abnormal cells, unwanted by the body, multiply andvarious diseases like cancer occur. Therefore, cell death mechanism is well preserved among species and strictly
regulated. Unraveling cell death pathways leads to artificially provoking cell death to particular cells, such as cancer
cells, aiding the discovery of anti-cancer agents. We are currently
researching the cellular function of several cancer cell specificapoptosis-inducing chemicals to elucidate how these chemicals induce
cell death to specific cancer cells in the cellular level using both amolecular and chemical biology approaches.

Exchange: ○Message from the Chairperson, Board of Trustees
TDU was established in 1907 as a vocational school for young engineers, Denki School, pursuing theideal of industrial education, and marks its 110th anniversary in 2017. TDU has been underpinning
Japan’s modernization for more than a century, and has been steadily building up its history andtradition with Japan’s science and technology development. TDU has evolved into an educational andresearch institution operating in the field of science and technology. We incorporate 5 graduate
schools, 6 undergraduate schools, a research facility, a junior and a senior high school, and auniversity press. We embrace a total student population of 11,300 and have sent over 210,000 talented
graduates out into all walks of life.
Our founders, Seiichi Hirota and Shinkichi Ogimoto, held as the founding spirit of the University thedesire to “promote and disseminate industrial education in Japan and strive to become aheadquarters for science of the future through education that emphasizes practical study.” This spirit
still burns as the foundation for building not only TDU, but also Japan, which aims to transform itself
into a science – and technology-intensive nation.
Our mission is to lead world society by educating people under our founding spirit, creating academic
value, and contributing widely to the global community. We consider this to be the role of a universitythat is the focal point for building and passing down intelligence, wisdom, and knowledge to future
generations.
TDU has always contributed to the development of communities, while holding high our founding
ideals of fostering the growth of scientists and engineers truly useful to society. We are, however, notcontent to rest on our laurels. As we continue for another one hundred years, we shall create “ourown new educational and research base,” work harder toward fostering the growth of engineers
filled with vitality, and further fulfill our responsibility to contribute to society around the world.
The first president of TDU, Yasujiro Niwa, believed that, “In the Technology Breathes its Creator.” We
will continue our educational principles that strive to create graduates possessing a proper sense of
ethics, reflecting this motto as our guiding light, cherishing and carrying on the 110-year-old founding
spirit of our institution that we inherited. We shall fulfill our mission to help turn Japan into a science –and technology-intensive country, and forge ahead with unwavering integrity. By accomplishing thismission, we will contribute to the global community.
