After the successful conclusion of the visit to Tohoku University in Japan, a visiting group of 25 people from the School of Mechanical Engineering of Zhejiang University went to Tokyo Institute of Technology on August 1 to carry out exchanges and visits. On the morning of August 1st, the visiting group visited the Institute of Future Industrial Technology of Tokyo Institute of Technology. Mr. Han Dong from the Laboratory of Jinshi Professor of the Institute of Future Industrial Technology warmly received the visiting group and gave a brief summary of the characteristics and development direction of Tokyo Institute of Technology. Afterwards, the teachers and students of the delegation visited the laboratory and machining center of Professor Jinshi. Through the display and on-site explanation in the laboratory, everyone learned that Professor Jinshi’s laboratory is mainly engaged in the development of electromagnetic and piezoelectric actuators for industrial applications and the research of new mechatronics. It has carried out in-depth cooperation with many well-known research institutes and enterprises in the world.
In the afternoon of the same day, the visiting delegation visited the Nobel Prize and other characteristic achievements exhibition hall of East University of Technology. In 2016, for his "discovery in the mechanism of autophagy", Yoshinori Ohsumi, a professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology at the time, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. The exhibition hall displays the Nobel medal and related research introductions of Professor Osumi Yoshinoori. Although life science is not the area of the visiting group members, the mechanism of autophagy is related to biomechanics, and its research also needs to apply the knowledge of mechanics. It was the first time they saw the real Nobel Medal, and everyone's excitement was beyond words. The research of Nobel Prize winners also greatly inspired everyone's interest in science. The exhibition hall also exhibited the characteristic research results of Donggong University in earthquake rescue robots, innovative design of earthquake-resistant housing structures, and intelligent factory service robots, which left a deep impression on everyone.
The 6-day study tour in Japan brought you not only the improvement of professional knowledge, but also cultural experience. Through this exchange activity, the students were able to get a close understanding of the scientific research and life of young foreign students. In addition to expanding their international horizons, they have also exercised their communication and cooperation skills.
