Research, Teaching, and Student Life in EIE, PolyU
Chun -Fai, LAU, Ivan, Instructor of Hong Kong Polytechnic University
The history of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) can be traced back to the founding of the Government Trade School in 1937. In the following decades, the institute has undergone extensive development and rapid expansion and assumed full university status in 1994.
The Department of Electronic and Information Engineering (EIE), formerly known as the Department of Electronic Engineering, was established in 1974. The Department was renamed in 1998 to reflect on the evolution and emergence of new technologies in the discipline during the previous years. Now, in the 21st century the Department pursues a wide range of research activities in many areas of electronic and information engineering. With the ultimate aim of producing preferred graduates who will meet the needs of society, the Department is committed to provide high-quality education to students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. The Department strives for excellence in research and aims to produce high-impact research outputs that are relevant to industry and society.
In this presentation, the speaker, Mr. Ivan Lau, instructor of EIE, introduces the research work, teaching style, and student life in the Department of EIE. The Department of EIE looks forward to furthering collaboration with the professors of the University of Aizu in research and teaching, and further promotion of the cultural exchange between the students and the community of Japan and Hong Kong.

Human resource development on decommissioning by robot contest
Shigekazu SUZUKI, Associate Professor of National Institute of Technology, Fukushima College
The coastal area of Fukushima Prefecture was damaged by the tsunami and the nuclear accident due to the Great East Japan Earthquake. Fukushima KOSEN (National Institute of Technology, Fukushima College) is located in Iwaki city, which is 45km away from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant. It is said that it will take 40 years for the decommissioning to be completed. Human resource development on decommissioning is important from a medium and long term perspective. Therefore, Fukushima KOSEN promotes education and research on decommissioning.
Fukushima KOSEN held a Robot Contest on Decommissioning as part of human resource development targeting KOSEN students across the country. The Robot Contest on Decommissioning starts in 2016 an is the fourth time this year. 15 teams who passed the screening will participate. This robot contest not only develop robots, but also holds summer schools to get a proper understanding of the situation in Fukushima. Students visit Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear Power Plant at summer school to understand the site of nuclear power generation and decommissioning.
I will introduce the outline of the Robot Contest on Decommissioning and the robot development by the KOSEN students.
Keywords: Decommissioning, Contest, Education, Nuclear Power Plant
Invitation Talk 3: 14:20 - 14:50
Standardization and Robot Innovation
Tetsuya KIMURA, Associate Professor of Nagaoka University of Technology
Robots are expected as an innovative solution for diverse current social issues. However, the robots have several parameters, not only technical ones but also management and business ones, thus the robot innovation involves complex parameters and this complexity would disturb the robot innovation progress. In this report, how standardization can contribute robot innovation in order to control such complexity. Personal care robot safety standard ISO 13482 and standard test method for disaster response robot performance developed by DHS-NIST-ASTM are considered as example of standardization application for robot innovation. The consideration is carried out from the viewpoint of systems engineering and open innovation
Keywords: Standard, Robot, Innovation, Systems Engineering

Software driven robot development and robotics engineer education
Keitaro NARUSE, Professor of University of Aizu
We often think as a robot is a mechanical and electrical device, however, it is a computational node as well. Even in a tele-operated robot system, we should design software components for each of robots, networks and computer deployment, interface design, and databases. If it is an autonomous one, it involves machine learning and artificial intelligence. Therefore, software development is so important in robot development. At the same time, we need new type of robot engineers who understand all mechanical, electrical, and informational engineering. We have not had an education program for the above engineers. Therefore, we have been developing it. We call the new one as dualware engineers, who can develop both hardware of mechanical and electrical parts and software of information system. In this talk, I will present the project of the robot information system in the university of Aizu and education program of the dualware engineers.
