Areas of specialization	Soft Computing System on a chip Intelligent system Fuzzy Logic / Fuzzy Systems FPGA design Machine learning system Image processing system Embedded system Electronic circuit RoboCup
Laboratory/research office	Soft Intelligent System On Chip Laboratory Main topic is Fuzzy theory and the machine learning system research for implement SoC. SoC is Integrated Circuit (IC)technology accumulating all components of a computer and other electronic systems for an IC chip. Normally, software programs are used, but SoC is a technology that implements electric circuits without using software programs or processors.Saving spaces, low power and high-speed calculation can be expected. The soft computing is a research field the empirical knowledge processing like the human being, is based on Fuzzy theory. These are implemented a lots in industrial equipment. In the laboratory, the conventional theory and system is researched as a system toward SoC. The application to a more complicated system is expected.
Current research topics	Multi-Agent System Intelligent Image Processing Intelligent Control System Robo Cup Soccer Simulation League AI system (Intelligent system/Soft computing system) Real-time image processing system Decision support system Soft Intelligent SoC
