Outline of Center for Micro-Nano Mechatronics
Micro and nanotechnology has become very important increating innovative technologies in the fields of ultra highprecision mechatronics technology, information technology,
bio-medical technology and energy/environmental technology,
which are expected to lead the 21st century industrialrevolution. Since Nanotechnology holds a leading position in
the advance of mechanical engineering, material sciences, life
sciences, and electronics, we established “Center forMicro-Nano Mechatronics” at Graduate School of Engineering,
Nagoya University in 2008 with the aim of applying
nanotechnology to practical systems in micro-nano scale from asystem approach viewpoint.

Nano control engineering
Manipulation and motion control of molecules,
biological cells, and living tissues

Prof. Toshio FUKUDA
Director of Center

Now as leading center in the world for system approach, wepromote researches in four basic fields, Nano control engineering, Nano measurement engineering,
Nano design and manufacturing, and Nano materials science and conduct an applied researchencompassing all these basic research fields to attend to the needs of the advanced medical engineering.
We also lead the innovative research field of micro-nano mechtronics and promote the collaborative
researches between industry and our center.
We are devoted to create environmentally friendly materials and machines with novel functions and arecommitted to establish analysis and design technology for them by emphasizing the micro/nano world.
