Problem Based Learning，PBL for short. This is a way of learning that students themselves "find something, plan yourself and work on things". PBL in our laboratory is previous phase of the graduation research and primary system development and Kansei Information Processing, that applied work of program. In the second half of seminar 2, we will develop the system or application and move the robot by making full use of the programming skills acquired in the first half. There are candidate subjects, but what you do is up to you.

We regularly discuss the results and future plans so far, but it is up to you whether to adopt that opinion. In other words, you can freely make something with your thoughts! The point is, regardless of what others say, it is training that decides and achieves with your own will.

Person who thinks such learning is interesting are suitable for researcher. Such learning is not only graduation research, but also nourishing for your life in the future. It is a practical exercise that will be a preliminary stage of graduation research. The theme will be various in the future as well, so please do your best! Following introduce example of activity up to now.

System development

In 2016, we worked on PBL using Raspberry Pie, Microsoft Kinect and LEGO Mindstorm EV 3. We also worked on the same theme in 2017, then came out various results such as line tracing and remote controller control. In this way, we implement free theme that is not directly related research theme. There’s more, automatic generation system of check pattern, rule extracting algorithm implemented in 2018, and coloring system (but, only Japanese Version) introduced by this homepage is developed in PBL at 2019.

Analystics

We implemented theme that used SD method that is typical method of impression analysis in Kansei information processing in 2020. SD method is a technique that multifaceted to measure impression related things. This subject was used music CD jacket, advertising poster (English version / Japanese version) and etc. In addition, we measure gaze information of during evaluation and investigate the relationship between gaze and favorite design.

Including graduation research, your abilities and motivation will influence to final result that any theme. It’s up to the person to be motivated, so we can’t say anything. but it is necessary to learn minimum ability as a science university student. let's try graduation research based on experience of PBL excise!
