On March 9, 2026, Mr. Kimura, a first-year advanced course student, gave a presentation at the GlobalNet Workshop of the IEICE General Conference held at Kyushu Sangyo University.
The workshop provided a valuable and rewarding experience for him. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who contributed to and supported this opportunity.

On March 7, 2026, we presented our research at the 8th International Symposium on Neuromorphic Hardware held in Kitakyushu, Japan.
The symposium provided an excellent opportunity to engage in constructive discussions with several researchers in the field. The valuable feedback and insights we received will help further advance our research efforts.
We will continue to pursue this work with dedication and enthusiasm. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all those who contributed to and supported this research.

On September 19, 2025, Mr. Matsuoka, a second-year advanced course student, and Mr. Higashiyama, a first-year advanced course student from our laboratory, gave presentations at the IEICE Kyushu Branch Student Conference.
They clearly presented their research outcomes and received several questions from the audience, which led to fruitful and constructive discussions. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to everyone who attended and participated.
From May 18 to 21, Dr. Pedro Machado and Dr. Isibo Ihianle from Nottingham Trent University in the UK visited this laboratory to advance collaborative research. The joint research focuses on robot hand control using a brain-inspired information processing circuit (SAM Spiking Neural Network), which is expected to contribute to the development of intelligent myoelectric prosthetic hands using AI devices. During their visit, the two researchers not only engaged in collaborative research but also interacted with students in the lab. They also delivered lectures to fifth-year undergraduate and advanced course students, introducing practical projects conducted in the UK and Nigeria. The students were deeply inspired by the exchange and gained a renewed awareness of how the engineering they are studying is connected to the wider world.
The present joint research was supported by the Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation. We would like to express our sincere gratitude.
We took place welcome & celebration event for our member. We went to Koshi Manga Museum and enjoyed Manga culture. Moreover we went to shopping mole ‘YouMe town’, and play around. It was very good time for us indeed.
