Asaka Kota Professor
This laboratory was newly established in 2024. With a focus on information and communication control, we aim to address various societal issues. To this end, the development of inter-system coordination control technologies that enable integration between information and communication systems and other industrial systems is essential. Together with students, I am committed to pursuing the creation of new added value and innovative services that have not existed before.
