What's National Institute of Technology
Various five departments of engineeringn National Institute of Technology has two major
characteristics. In first, it provides an engineering
education to students who have graduated from juniorhigh school. Its educational style is not only composed oftechnical lessons but of the liberal arts, which arecompiled in a well arranged curriculum for five academicyears. In second, the practical aspect of engineering isemphasized through many credits of experiment. It aims
to train young students to be outstanding engineers withpractical abilities as well as scientific viewpoints.

About NIT Toyota Collegeu Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineeringn Toyota College was established in April, 1963 in the city ofToyota, which is a significant center of the automobile
industry in central Japan. The advanced engineeringcourse was added as a two-year course in our college
system April, 1994 to qualify Bachelor Degree following

3rd place (2012), 4th place(2010 ,2011) at RoboCup
world competition

the five-year college course. The students have theopportunity to acquire research experience in developing
new engineering products or systems and to create newtechnologies for future generations.
n Attractive club activity, official event mainly planned by
student council (ball games, field and track events etc.),
and wonderful dormitory life (about 60% of all students
including 9 overseas students as of 2017)u Department of Information and Computer Engineeringn Many courses after graduation: Employment in Japanesemajor company (JR Tokai, Denso, Chubu Electric Power,NHK etc.), Graduate‘s Entrance into Universities (NagoyaUniv., Tokyo Inst. of Tech., Nagoya Inst. of Tech., etc.)
n International institution for technological education : This
college acquired an accreditation by JABEE (JapanAccreditation board for Engineering Education)1

It is required the wheel mechanism realized Omni-directional
moving with high speed in the game.（It is quite different
from conventional wheel which cannot rotate at the site）.

Kicking device
After the large capacitors built up the high voltage(～200V)，
the energy is released explosively to the electromagnet coil.
As the results, the iron core is pulled into the coil, and thepowerful shoot is achieved.

Introduction of RoboCup as our Lab's study
What's RoboCup?

Theoretical calculation

RoboCup is an international research and education
initiative. It is an attempt to foster AI and intelligent robotics
research by providing a standard problem where wide rangeof technologies can be integrated and examined, as well as
being used for integrated project-oriented education. For
this purpose, RoboCup chose to use soccer game as a
primary domain, and organizes RoboCup.

BallThe dream of RoboCup is that a team of fully autonomous
humanoid robot soccer players shall win the soccer game,against the winner of the most recent World Cup, comply
with the official rule of the FIFA, by mid-21st century.
