History

[edit]

OIT was originally founded in 1922 asKansai Engineering Technical School bybusiness man Kyosaburo Honjo, together witharchitectYasushi Kataoka, who graduated fromTokyo Imperial University (presentUniversity of Tokyo) and also served as the school's first principal. The Mission is"For the World, for the People and for the Community", to develop specialists with science-based practical skills who play an important role in society.

In 1940, the school foundation established Kansai Advanced Technical School, a three-year college for men (for ages 17–20). Kansai Advanced Technical School was renamed to Setsunan Advanced Technical School in 1942, further renamed Setsunan Engineering Technical School in 1944.

In April 1949, Setsunan Engineering Technical School was upgraded to Setsunan Institute of Technology, a four-year university under Japan's new educational systems. In October 1949, it was renamed to Osaka Institute of Technology (OIT).

At first, OIT had one faculty: the so-called Faculty ofEngineering, which consisted of three departments (Architecture,Civil Engineering,Electrical Engineering). Later on, OIT added several departments (Mechanical Engineering,Electronics Engineering,Applied Chemistry,Environmental Engineering,Biomedical Engineering), three faculties (Faculty ofInformation Science andTechnology, Faculty ofIntellectual Property, Faculty ofRobotics andDesign), and a graduate school which includes doctoral-level courses.

  • 1949: Faculty of Engineering
  • 1965: Graduate School (Department of Engineering Research; master's courses only)
  • 1967: Ph.D. courses offered
  • 1996: Faculty of Information Science and Technology
  • 2003: Faculty of Intellectual Property
  • 2017: Faculty of Robotics and Design

As of April 2017, OIT has four faculties. TheFaculty of Intellectual Property was the first-ever and is still the only one of its kind in Japan. Moreover, theFaculty of Robotics and Design providesdesign thinking education to stress an innovative and creative approach towards design.

OIT has three campuses:

The Umeda campus was opened in 2017 nearOsaka station and is housed in the 21-storeyOIT Umeda Tower, located in thecentral business district (CBD).[4]

Innovations

[edit]

Research

[edit]

2025: A research group led by OIT Professor at Faculty ofRobotics andDesign developed arobotsystem that operates by rearranging multiple pieces of equipment to investigate and restoreriver channelblockages that occur in mountainous areas due toearthquakes orheavy rain. Previously, it relied on manual intervention to avoid the risk of secondary damage, but nowremote control is possible, making a significant contribution todisaster prevention and mitigation.[12]

2024: OIT researchers at Department ofApplied Chemistry and INRAE(Institut national de recherche pour l'agriculture, l'alimentation et l'environnement) developed soap-like air bubbles (gas marbles) stabilized with cinnamon particles. The gas marbles are edible capsules that make sounds when you bite into them, and they can also be used to decorate cakes and other items.[13]

2023: According to “Scientist Database based on Standardized Citation Indicators” updated byStanford University andElsevier as a comprehensive list that identifies “TOP 2% of the world's most influential researchers” (*Category: Career-long), OIT's 4 professors from Department ofApplied Chemistry,Biomedical Engineering, andMechanical Engineering were selected.[14]

2022: OIT researchers at Department ofApplied Chemistry andUMET that is the joint research unit ofLille University of Science and Technology andFrench National Centre for Scientific Research(CNRS) developed an innovative ‘Micro reaction vessel’ that can initiate a reaction by irradiating light using droplets (Liquid Marbles).This research was supported by JSPS(Japan Society for the Promotion of Science), and the research paper was published in ‘ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces’.[15]

2021: An international collaborative research group of OIT at Department ofApplied Chemistry,Tokyo Institute of Technology andNational Yang Ming Chiao Tung University developed an innovative method for preparing ‘Chiral Silica’ consisting of a molecular-scale helical structure by an extremely simple process.This research was promoted by the moonshot-type research and development project of theNew Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization(NEDO), and was published in the Open Access Journal ‘JACS Au’ of theAmerican Chemical Society (ACS).[16]

2020: A research group ofUniversity of Tokyo at Department of Applied Physics,RIKEN(Institute of Physical and Chemical Research) and OIT at Faculty ofInformation Science andTechnology succeeded in developing an innovative “TransportableOptical lattice clock(OLC) with Ultra-precise measurements(10 to the power of minus 18)“ for the first time in the world through a verification testing on validity ofAlbert Einstein'sgeneral theory of relativity atTokyo Skytree. Compared to conventional space experiments, using the transportable OLC onsatellite androcket, the equivalent experiments are available with a height difference of 10,000 times less.[17]

2019: OIT researchers at Department ofApplied Chemistry discovered that poly-3-hexylthiophene(P3HT), a conductive polymer widely used as a material for solar cells and transistors, has a new ability to convertlight intoheat. Since P3HT dissolves in organic solvents, it can be used as a paint, and can be applied to substrates of various shapes. Also it can be expected to be applied to local heating in a vacuum space or a fine space, such as hyperthermia, which uses heat in an outer space(space station or space shuttle) or kills cancer cells by heat. This innovative research was highly evaluated and published by theAmerican Chemical Society (ACS) in the field of polymer. (Macromolecules 2019, 52, 2,708-717)[18]

2018: OIT researcher at Department ofInformation Systems, Faculty ofInformation Science andTechnology participated in “KAGRA”(Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector) Project,[19] a national project managed byInstitute for Cosmic Ray Research (ICRR) ofUniversity of Tokyo andNational Institutes of Natural Sciences(NINS)/National Astronomical Observatory of Japan(NAOJ)/High Energy Accelerator Research Organization(KEK) forAstrophysics &Information systems research onGravitational-wave observatory. FromInstitute of technology in Japan, onlyTokyo Institute of Technology and OIT were engaged in the project.[20][21]

2017: OIT researcher at Department ofSystem Design, Faculty ofRobotics andDesign jointly developed an innovative Odor Measuring Platform that allows them to analyze and evaluate different kinds of odors objectively together withKonica Minolta throughopen innovation. Based on the platform, Konica Minolta unveiled "Kun Kun"(or "Sniff Sniff") body. "Kun Kun" body, simply consisting of a device and asmartphone application, can measure odors of the scalp, armpits, skin behind the ears, and feet. Measured odor data are sent via Bluetooth and displayed in the smartphone app in 20 seconds or so. Odors are classified into 10 levels, allowing users to objectively decide whether they need to take some deodorizing measures. OIT has been researching ways of distinguishing different odors throughneural network-basedAI technology using gas sensor.[22]

2016: OIT researcher at Department ofApplied Chemistry jointly developed an innovative material transfer technology combining Liquid droplets (Liquid marble) covered with solid particles and Light together withAsahikawa Medical University andMax Planck Institutes. As it makes the Light directly convert into propulsion force, there is no power conversion process like photovoltaic power generation. It is eco-friendly and low-cost as well. The research paper was published in German scientific journal "Advanced Functional Materials".[23]

2015: OIT researcher at Department ofApplied Chemistry jointly developed an innovative technology, so-called "Non-sticky powdery adhesive" in the field ofBiomimetics materials together withMax Planck Institutes. It was developed with hint that Aphids covers the surface of honey which they discharge by solid wax particles and prevents drowning due to honey in the nest byliquid marble. It was introduced to journal cover published by theRoyal Society of Chemistry andChemistry World inUK.[24][25]

2012: An innovativeSmall satellite withPulsed plasma thruster(PPT), namedPROITERES(Project of OIT Electric-Rocket-Engine Onboard Small Space Ship) was developed by OIT researcher and students mainly from Department ofMechanical Engineering and it was launched in Sep 2012 onPSLV-C21Rocket fromSatish Dhawan Space Centre operated byIndian Space Research Organisation in India.[26][27][28]
