Monroe Kennedy III
Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and, by courtesy, of Computer Science
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focus is to develop technology that improves everyday life by anticipating and acting on the needs of human counterparts. My research can be divided into the following sub-categories: robotic assistants, connected devices and intelligent wearables. My Assistive Robotics and Manipulation lab focuses heavily on both the analytical and experimental components of assistive technology design.

Thomas Kenny
Senior Associate Dean for Education and Student Affairs and Richard W. Weiland Professor in the School of Engineering
BioKenny's group is researching fundamental issues and applications of micromechanical structures. These devices are usually fabricated from silicon wafers using integrated circuit fabrication tools. Using these techniques, the group builds sensitive accelerometers, infrared detectors, and force-sensing cantilevers. This research has many applications, including integrated packaging, inertial navigation, fundamental force measurements, experiments on bio-molecules, device cooling, bio-analytical instruments, and small robots. Because this research field is multidisciplinary in nature, work in this group is characterized by strong collaborations with other departments, as well as with local industry.

Naohiko Kohtake
Visiting Professor, Mechanical Engineering
BioNaohiko Kohtake is a Visiting Professor at the Center for Design Research, Stanford University, and Professor at the Graduate School of System Design and Management, Keio University in Japan. His research interests lie in space systems engineering, intelligent systems, and the integration of design thinking and systems engineering for innovative social and space services. He is currently conducting research at Stanford University on enhancing data-driven decision-making systems through space-scale Internet of Things, which involves satellites, drones, ground-based sensors, and robots.
He began his career at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), where he worked on the H-IIA launch vehicle, onboard software for spacecraft, and international projects related to the International Space Station with European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA. He later served as a visiting researcher at the ESA. Since joining Keio University in 2009, he has led research on space service innovation, systems approaches to societal challenges, and education for multigenerational co-creation. He has served as the primary academic advisor for 13 doctoral degree recipients and 73 master’s degree recipients from Japan as well as other countries in Asia, Africa, and Europe. He concurrently held the position of Principal at Keio Yokohama Elementary School.
