2016 6th Monthly Tutorial

The 6th monthly tutorial was held at Etchujima campus, the University of Tokyo Marine Science and Technology, on October 23rd. 28 students participated the tutorial. The program agenda was 2 invited lectures, preparation for the G-EXPO Symposium presentation and student project discussion. 

First, we had Dr. Masaaki Mochimaru of Director of Human Informatics Research Institute, AIST speak on “Servitization of B2C Industry based on Big-data and Deep-data of humans.” He introduced value co-creation among manufacturing firms, retailers and users. For example, he mentioned leisure boats and GPS-mounted cranes of Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. and Komatsu, respectively. In addition, IOT service creation using human informatics and barriers of servitization and strategic measurement of human data were discussed.           

Second, we had Dr. Ir. Peter J. Buist, European GNSS Agency lecture on the theme “Galileo Exploitation Programme.” The EU GNSS program is mainly supported by the European Commission, ESA, European GNSS Agency. It is to be in full operational capability by the year 2020 with 30 satellites in operation. 12 facilities such as the “Exploitation Headquarter”, “Core Infrastructure” and “Service Infrastructure” are distributed across European countries. The Galileo-related website “GNSS Service Center” is accessed by 71k people from 181 countries. To improve the interoperability with other GNSS and to report it to the relevant stakeholders, Dr. Peter is currently involved in the establishment of the “Galileo Reference Center.”   

Third, students practiced the 3-minutes TED-style presentation for the G-EXPO Symposium. Themes such as the “Asian Base Station”, “Evacuation Route in Disaster Management”, “Traffic Identification using Taxi Probes”, “Identification and Visualization of Malaria affected Areas”, “Restroom Vacancy Service Application” and “Counting of Coconut Trees using UAVs” were introduced. The faculties suggested that the presentation slide should be comprehensible for both Japanese/foreign audiences and to emphasize keywords/messages.

In the end of October, we plan to have the intermediate review of the student project. Students will give out a presentation at the G-EXPO Symposium which would be held on November 25th.
