This achievement began with fundamental research at the university and was made possible through collaboration with industry partners, livestock production sites, and producers. We believe it represents a true outcome of open innovation. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone involved for their cooperation and support.
At present, in addition to the agriculture and livestock sector, we are also advancing applied research in the medical field as a non-contact measurement technology, aiming to create social value through cross-disciplinary deployment. Encouraged by this award, we will continue to further promote research and development grounded in real-world needs and accelerate its implementation in society.

I am truly honored to receive this award.
For me, this project was an invaluable opportunity as an international researcher working in Japan to collaborate closely with the university, industry, and practitioners in the field. Through this research, I learned deeply how research outcomes are refined through real-world constraints and feedback from on-site stakeholders. Being able to work together with many experts from different fields and positions greatly broadened my technical perspective and expertise. I would like to sincerely thank everyone involved for supporting us with an open and collaborative spirit throughout the project.
Encouraged by this recognition, I will continue contributing to collaborative research and innovation that creates social value.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for receiving this award.
This technology has been developed to reduce labor and burden associated with weighing work at pig farms, while also contributing to improved pig farm management through data-driven husbandry practices. As the research progressed, we were able to advance efforts toward practical use and social implementation by building on university research成果 and collaborating with stakeholders at livestock production sites. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to all those involved for their understanding and cooperation. In addition to applications in pig farming, this outcome is expected to be applicable across the broader livestock sector, and we will aim for further development as a technology that meets on-site needs.
Encouraged by this award, we will continue to sincerely engage with the issues and needs faced by livestock production sites and further devote ourselves to research and technology development that can contribute to the field.

I am honored to have received this award as a member of Professor Kawasue’s research and development project. We are currently participating in this interdisciplinary medical–engineering collaboration and developing “Scubter Neo.”
With the hope that this device will be useful in clinical settings in the near future, I will continue dedicating myself to research and development each day.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for receiving this award.
At the Central Research Institute of NH Foods, we are advancing the development and social implementation of “PIG LABO®,” a technology that supports the pig farming industry. We expect that this technology, developed together with Professor Kawasue, will help solve challenges faced at pig farming sites and contribute to revitalizing the industry through the realization of livestock DX. We are also honored to be involved, even in a small way, in bringing this technology into practical use.
Going forward, through research and development that contributes to the promotion of the livestock industry, we will continue striving to deliver the “joy of eating” to everyone.
