【Highlights of MATLAB EXPO 2026 Japan】
Keynote Speeches:
Hiroaki Kagaya, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.
"Expanding Human Potential Through Mobility Experience – The Future Envisioned by CORLEO"
CORLEO, a new-concept off-road mobility vehicle unveiled at the Osaka-Kansai Expo, is a concept product that envisions a future where people can move safely in natural environments and access experiences previously out of reach. This lecture will introduce the development philosophy, starting from the value of "what kind of experience we want to deliver to people," and present a future vision where mobility evolves into an experience that expands human potential, through a design that integrates people, environment, and machine.
Richard Rovner, MathWorks
"Accelerating Innovation with Model-Based Design and Agentic AI"
Artificial intelligence, especially agentic AI, is bringing significant transformation to engineering design. AI not only streamlines routine tasks but also enhances creativity through data-driven rapid design loops. This lecture will explain the evolving role of designers as human ingenuity merges with AI insights, and the evolution of design tools that translate creative concepts into implementable solutions, envisioning a future of design that bridges imagination and practicality.
Examples of User Presentations:
Minoru Fuwa, Toyota Motor Corporation
"Rationalizing Automotive Testing Efforts – The Advantage of MATLAB as a Smartphone Web App Development Tool"
In automotive evaluation testing, in addition to progress management, proper management of evidence such as photos and measurement data is crucial. Traditionally, this involved many manual tasks, leading to increased workload, missed records, and input errors. This case study describes the development of a support application using MATLAB, deployed as a web app via Web App Server. This achieved standardization of testing workflows, automatic data organization, and efficiency improvements through smartphone input, resulting in reduced workload and enhanced traceability.
Shehran Azim, Boeing Japan
"Accelerating Digital Engineering in Aerospace System Development with Simscape"
Boeing is advancing thermal management technology required for cryogenic fuel loading, such as liquid hydrogen, to achieve carbon-neutral aviation. This presentation will introduce a digital utilization case study focusing on hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems, integrating multi-domain models including gas-liquid two-phase flow using Simulink and Simscape™, design optimization with MATLAB, and requirements linkage and automated testing, providing insights for future technology development.
Katsuro Tanaka, J-POWER
"20 Immediate Contributors Annually! Fostering the Strongest Talent in Domain Knowledge × Data Science"
As the importance of data-driven decision-making grows, J-POWER introduced the "MATLAB Upskilling Package" utilizing MATLAB to train employees to solve business challenges with data science and AI. Based on real-world problems in power plant operations and electricity sales, an 8-month training program with individual coaching was conducted, which all participants, including those with no prior experience, completed. This presentation will introduce the design philosophy and achievements of this initiative, and its outlook towards 2030.
