ROBOMECH 2017 in FUKUSHIMA

Hello, everyone!!
My name is Oka, M1 student.
“ROBOMECH 2017” was held in Koriyama City, Fukushima Prefecture on May 10 (Wed) – 5/13 (Sat), and six members from our laboratory participated.
When I first knew the venue, I only had  the impression of “far away …” (lol), but when I actually went there, the Koriyama station which was the closest station of the venue  was prominently prosperous. It was exactly “a vibrant town”.
In ROBOMECH, we made a presentation at the poster session, set up posters for each session, and explained to those who were interested.
Every year, the seniors who participated in this conference said that it is easy to question and to answer questions close to each other so that valuable opinions could be heard in the ROBOMECH, and for me it was exactly right.
It was very meaningful to explain with enthusiasm to those who were interested. Thinking and answering questions based on the questionnaire research viewpoint is useful.
I would like to be encouraged in research in the future so that people who are interested will have a deeper interest in the research contents (^ ^)

Mr. Yoneyama (alumnus) was granted half exemption from JASSO scholarship.

Comment: Masato Yoneyama

I received a half exemption from the Japan Student Services Organization’s scholarship.
I thought that I had to produce an appropriate result since I went to the graduate school. So I am pleased that I am elected as a scholarship exempted because my research results have been acknowledged. This is thanks to Prof. Ma, Prof. Hirose and other lab members who supported my research. I heartily thank them.
It is a pleasure to receive an exemption from scholarships. And I could gain confidence. So I definitely would like other students to consider it as one of the goals.
However, scholarship exemption can’t be accepted only from the goodness of the surroundings. Individual efforts are essential.
1.    Go to the lab every day to advance your research
2.    Utilize external opportunities including academic societies
and
research conferences
3.
Engaged in research without giving up

These 3 items are what I was trying to do in my research activities.
The first item is an obvious thing. I went to graduate school but I thought this was a substitute for work because people who did not go to graduate school are working. I also thought I should get experiences equal to the people who works.(It is difficult to compare experiences, so it will become sensuous…..) The second item leads to experience and growth. It has good influence not only research activities, but also job hunting, the later society life to utilize, challenge various opportunities and gain unprecedented experience. The third item is particularly important. In research activities, efforts do not all lead to good results or presentations. Unfortunately, sometimes we have advanced our research with wrong ideas and only time passes. Nevertheless, we have to continue our research for good results.
The contents mentioned above are thoughts of myself , it cannot be said that it is absolutely right. However, I think that those who are going to conduct research activities from now on, especially those who are going to graduate school, would like to create such self-contained attitudes and lead a fruitful research life.

In closing, the professors’ who were taken care of in the research and Ma laboratory members, thank you very much.
I wish for your continued success in the future.
