Welcome to Shunji Manabe's Home Page

Back Ground
Shunji Manabe was borne in 1930 at Tokyo. His educational back ground is Electrical Engineering. He received two years education in USA. He worked in a large electrical and electronics industrial firm for 38 years since 1952. His work was related to control system design of various industrial products such as
        Electric Motor Speed Control
        Tracking RADAR Control
        Flight Simulator
        Industrial Plant Control
        Spacecraft Attitude Control
        Robotics
Since 1990, he has been teaching control theory in a university.

Purpose of Home Page
He retired on 2000. After retirement, he is planning to leave his experiences to younger generations and also he wants to do some thing to leave better society for coming generations.

1.  During his long experience in design of control systems, he come out to an effective control design theory named as "Coefficient Diagram Method (CDM). CDM is design theory, not analysis theory, and very good control system can be designed without much design experiences. Field adjustment is very easy.

2.  In controller design, the hardware and software realization problem is also important.  In order to achieve reliable and cost effective real time controller, some modification of the presently available OS and hardware structure seems to be necessary.

3.  In order to realize human-friendly robot, actuator must be improved. Electric motors are much inferior to human muscle in weight, power, and flexibility.  The internal combustion engines used in cars give too much burden to the environment.   In animal muscle , the chemical energy is directly converted to dynamical energy without going through heat and it is more efficient.   

Request to Home Page Readers
Manabe would be very happy, if he would have responses from readers to the above 3 problems, namely,
        Coefficient Diagram Method (CDM)
        Real Time Control
        Muscle Engine
Please go to the referred pages for more detail.
