This division conducts research and development of science and technology in engineering and fisheries science that contribute to the utilization of ocean energy.^{(Figure 1)}
The Mechatronics area conducts research in engineering technology and focuses on the development of marine energy equipment and the robotics and IoT required for its use.
Development targets include marine robots, marine power generation, submarine cables, floating mooring cables, subsea charging, structural inspection robots, autonomous vessels for environmental measures, underwater monitoring systems, and IoT technologies for manufacturing and fault diagnosis in marine machinery.

The Department of Marine and Fisheries Applied Sciences collaborates with researchers in various fields to develop and research marine and fishery technologies such as fisheries, aquaculture, and fish processing that utilize marine energy and related facilities in order to build a next-generation fishery industry that ensures the conservation of the marine environment and ecosystem and economic sustainability. We have also embarked on research and development of next-generation fisheries systems such as intelligent aquaculture.

We have concluded MOUs with the University of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt University, and the University of Stirling in the U.K., as well as Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and are committed to advanced, practical research and human resource development.
