Dreams for the Future■ Green InnovationDevelopment of robotics and new medical instruments,for integration with loT and deep learning through cooperationbetween medics and engineersWith regard to medical innovation, a clear understanding of medical needs,combined with a means to rapidly prototype proposed solutions, ready forevaluation has been found to be key. Fig.1 shows a CAD (Computer AidedDesign) design of a new kind of forceps. Fig. 2 shows a functional prototype ofthe forceps made with a high quality 3D printer, making immediate evaluationof the mechanism possible. The proposed laparoscopic forceps are designedto delicately hold organs and provide for less invasive surgery as well asprovide a mechanism that can be robotically assisted. This project was initiatedby a combined team of medical and engineering staff and students. This andmany other projects are underway to provide for a new generation of assistivemechanisms and systems that can integrate robotics, loT and deep learning insuch a way to support a new generation of medics, nursing and welfare staffthrough collaboration between medicine and engineering faculties.

Green house gas emissions,convincingly a major cause of the global warming are mainly derived from the transportation sector and electricity power generationbased on the consumption of fossil fuels. This project focuses on the two research themes: (1) Development of innovative materialsfor next-generation energy storages devices, (2) Development of novel synthetic technologies of energy resources. For example, wehave been developing new materials for highperformance Li-ion batteries with high power, highenergy and safety, to apply to electric vehicles andelectric power grid connection systems. Furthermore,we are strengthening the developments of noveltechnologies for CO2-reduction and conversion intovaluable carbon resources. We are aiming at essentialinnovation by seeking new breakthrough technologiesand chemical transformations, in addition toFig.4 Organic synthetic reactor for CO2addmissing the perspectives of environmental issues.

Research project on innovative next generation magnets- "Control of Nanostructure" and "Alloy Composition Exploration"―，

A conventional Nd-Fe-B permanent magnet is an attractive material and has been widely used, however we are still searching fornew materials as a next generation permanent magnet from a future application point of view.
In our project, we focus on the preparation of various permanent magnet materials by talking account of analysis results with themicro magnetic theory. For example, the computer simulation indicated that (BH)max exceeded 300 kJ/m3 under the hightemperature at 473 Kin Sm-Co/a-Fe nanocomposite magnets with multi-layered structure (see Fig. 5). The value was much higherthan that of an Nd-Fe-B magnet. We, therefore, try toGrain size [m,]51015fabricate Sm-Co/a-Fe multilayered films by using a400■(/.—FePLD (Pulsed Laser Deposition) method as shown inFig.6. It was clarified that the control of microstructureSm-Coof Sm-Co permanent magnets including a-Fe phase isSubmm,an effective method of developing a high temperaturemagnet. Our group also attempt to control themicrostructure for Sm-Co/a-Fe nanocomposite戸PulS< 1,sermagnets synthesized by using a wet process.
