Research department

AI & Mechanical System Center is comprised of organizations necessary for the development of future convergence technologies with integrated system engineering technologies for design, manufacturing/production, and test verification technologies required for product development.
They are specifically in charge of developing materials/parts/devices/equipment, specializing in smart technology fields such as CAE application technology, ICT and intelligent control, welding, non-destructive testing, and SHM (structural health monitoring).
These are specifically comprised of a One Step Service method for the development of materials/parts/devices/equipment, and are as follows as comprehensive engineering technologies;
1) Multi-physics-based CAE application technology for design and verification;
2) Smart production technology for process element technologies such as welding process system automation and non-destructive testing required for the product manufacturing process;
3) BiG Data-based AI and intelligent control technology for SI and control;

In the applied industrial fields of research and development, these technologies are widely applied to mechanical systems, electricity/electronics/communication, acoustics, automobiles, shipbuilding, environment, national defense, and conventional/nuclear power plant product development.

Major research and development achievements include:
1) Bone conduction speakers, BA speakers, ride comfort, sound quality of environmental noise, and noise vibration as a part of emotional engineering technologies.
2) Precision control field including precise equipment development such as machining equipment and optical devices including fast steering mirror (FSM) using piezoelectric and motor technologies for weapon and telescope industries.
3) Heterogeneous welding technology, acoustic emission technology, and ultrasonic inspection technology to be applied in smart manufacturing/production processes.
4) The various ICT field such as smart sensors, power electronics technology, and IoT-based bio system technology.

Through the results combined with this research, the AI & Mechanical System Center aims to achieve advanced and practical technologies through system engineering-based design and development that meets the needs of future society.
