About

Kaduki Takayanagi is a dedicated educator and researcher in mechatronics engineering, with a primary focus on developing innovative, hands-on pedagogical approaches for undergraduate students. His work centers on using robotics—specifically line-trace and maze-solver robots—as core educational tools to bridge theoretical knowledge and practical application. At Meijo University’s Faculty of Science and Technology, Takayanagi has designed and refined the "Fundamentals Seminar II" and "Basic Seminar II" courses, which task new mechatronics students with creating functional robots. His major contribution lies in structuring these project-based lessons to cultivate student interest and deepen their understanding of mechatronics principles. While his most-cited papers have each garnered 1 citation, their true impact is measured in the classroom, where they have helped sustain and improve student engagement in a challenging engineering discipline. Takayanagi’s work represents a vital contribution to engineering education, demonstrating how carefully designed robotic challenges can inspire the next generation of mechatronics engineers.
