Research Areas

We precisely design the drive and working parts of machinery operated off the road — tractors, combines, transplanters, and heavy construction equipment — and verify performance and safety through multi-body dynamics (MBD) and structural/strength analysis.

We identify failure mechanisms of parts and modules and quantitatively assess reliability via accelerated-life, corrosion, and durability testing plus load measurement, improving life through robust design.

We predict and reduce resonance-induced load amplification in high-speed gears and analyze the dynamic behavior and losses of planetary transmissions and gearboxes for lightweight, low-noise, high-reliability design.

We model the leakage and pulsation of positive-displacement pumps and flow meters — rotary-clap, oval-gear, lobe, and vane — and optimize tooth and geometric parameters to improve metering accuracy.

Without expensive flow sensors, we combine pump drive data (V·I·rpm·t) with physics models and AI virtual sensors to achieve ±1% precision volumetric dosing even under viscosity, temperature, and level changes.

We apply the sensorless dosing core to electric/autonomous sprayers, weeding robots, and smart-farm nutrient supply, realizing speed-proportional precise spraying and reduced input loss.
