Hello,  I am Chihiro Hirose an M1 student in Ma lab.

ROBOMECH2022 was held in Sapporo Convention Center in Hokkaido from June1st to June 4^{th .}  Four M1 students from our lab participated.

Hokkaido in June was still very cold that one of us had to buy a jacket. This was my first visit to Hokkaido. We ate so many delicious food like jingiskan(lamb meat), Sapporo ramen and lots of seafood.

The theme of the conference was “Path to the New Normal Era for Robotics and Mechatronics”. It was a poster session where each of us stood in front of the poster and gave presentation. For all four of us this was our first poster presentation.

What I learned from this experience is the importance of summarizing the points. It was an hour and a half session but time passed so fast because I had to explain to so many people. It was a great opportunity to experience different type of presentation from what we usually do. Moreover we communicated with other university students and broadened our minds.

Hello everyone !

We had Baka seminar last month on May 28^th.

In Baka (which means silly or foolish) seminar, you do a research on something you care about in your daily life that has nothing to do with your study and give presentation.  Before Covid19 we would have BBQ and stay overnight but this year we held it hybrid both at school and online.

The best presentation was Mr.Murata(M1)’s “electronic board name card” ! He made an electronic board name card and programmed it so that you can see a pot pouring coffee (appears in LED light) in a cup ! (He actually works at a coffee shop)

There were other really interesting researches that students prepared in a short period of time. Thanks to a graduate student who participated via zoom and gave us comments.

Hopefully we will be able to visit somewhere next year and have more time to communicate with each other!!
