Virtual Buffer Management (VBM) for Effective Visibility into Highly Variable Development and Reduce the Need to Change Plans
TAKASE Shiho / NISHIYAMA Tetsuto
Critical chain project management (CCPM) is one of the representative project management methods characterized by completing projects efficiently and on time through buffer management. However, when applying CCPM to research and development (R&D) projects with high variability and uncertainty, ...

Development of One-component Epoxy Resin with Short-time Curing and High Heat Resistance for Mechanical Devices
OTANI Osamu / IMAIZUMI Toyohiro / FUKUHARA Tomohiro
As an adhesive for bonding dissimilar materials used in mechanical devices, one-component epoxy resins are widely used from the viewpoint of high strength and ease of use. We have also used one-component epoxy resins for mechanical devices, such as relays and switches. ...

Development of a Millimeter-Wave Radar Hood with Quantitative Snow Avoidance and Vehicle Detection Accuracy
HINOUE Tomohiko / HAGIWARA Yoshiyuki / TANIMOTO Yudai
It is crucial to utilize an intelligent transport system that gathers vehicle information from sensors installed as part of the road traffic infrastructure and uses this data for signal control and support for autonomous driving to ensure safe and smooth traffic flow control. We have developed millimeter-wave radars ...

Development of Middleware for Rapid Prototyping of Robots Based on Parallel Behavior Architecture
MATSUNAGA Daisuke / YAMAMOTO Tomoya / FUJII Haruka / KOJIMA Takeshi
To realize robots that can move flexibly in human environments and automate nonstandard tasks, it is essential to parallel process functions like recognition, planning, and control to enhance responsiveness. The parallel behavior architecture addresses this requirement by executing high-level information processing ...

We look forward to reading these papers.
