Robot Education for Junior HighSchool StudentsCollaboration with companies：
processing of fuel cells•

Glass-like-carbon is used in
the fuel cells of space-shuttles•

The precision processing canbe applied to small cells•

The relation between thefundamental slicing conditions
and ground surface quality
was clarified

Presentations of ourclub activities

Japan society ofmachinery engineering

International conference

The presentation by our students
surprised scientists and engineers from other countries

Ⅳ Conclusion

We would like to continue
manufacturing robots whichhelps us improve our creativity栃木県立宇都宮工業高等学校 生産システム研究部
