- Research
- The purpose of this research is development of robots which is used in various fields and applied for human society. For example, exploration of ocean resources are expected, while operations on underwater are dangerous for human. Therefore, AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) are needed on behalf of human worker. To apply robots for such projects, robust hardware, sensing system and adaptive control system are needed. Additionally, in order to apply robots in crowded area,not only navigation system but safety of human should be considered.

- Control Theory of Infinite Dimensional Systems
- Research
- The systems described in partial differential equations are called infinite dimensional systems. We used to apply theory of functional analysis to the research of control problems for infinite dimensional systems. In this laboratory, we will study not only control theory, but also the verification of our theory using simulation software.

With the development of information communication and the Internet, huge amounts of data including unstructured data are generated explosively. Research on data mining methodology and its applications to discover valuable knowledge and rules from the inside of big data are carried out in the laboratory. In order to improve processing efficiency, parallel mining algorithms and visualization technology and access methodologies of multidimensional data based on PC cluster as high performance computing environment are also carried out.
Moreover, issues related to the multi-attribute decision-making methodologies and decision support system and its applications are also topics of interest.

- I have set a goal to develop innovative treatments of Myasthenia gravis (MG) and fi nding a new target antigen from the neuromuscular junction. MG is caused by the failure of neuromuscular transmission mediated by pathogenic autoantibodies (Abs) against acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and muscle-specifi c receptor tyrosine kinase (MuSK). The seropositivity rates for routine AChR binding Ab and MuSK Ab in MG are 80-85% and 5-10% for MG patients in Japan, respectively. The autoimmune target in the remaining patients is unknown. In 2011,autoantibodies against low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 4 (Lrp4) were identifi ed in Japanese MG patients and thereafter have been reported in Germany and the USA. We developed a simple technique termed Gaussia luciferase immunoprecipitation for detecting antibodies to Lrp4. As a result, nine generalized MG patients from 300 lacking AChR Ab are positive for Lrp4 antibodies. Thymoma was not observed in any of these patients. These antibodies inhibit binding of Lrp4 to its ligand and are predominantly of the IgG1 subclass. In other reports of Lrp4 ab, Lrp4 ab positive sera inhibited agrin-induced aggregation of AChRs in cultured myotubes, suggesting a pathogenic role regarding the dysfunction of the neuromuscular endplate. These results indicate that Lrp4 is a third autoantigen in patients with MG, and anti-Lrp4 autoantibodies may be pathogenic. Further studies including neuromuscular junction biopsy are needed to clarify the pathomechanism of Lrp4 ab positive MG.
