Faster and More Cost-Effective Way to Success in MEMS R&D by Open Collaboration in Tohoku University [PDF]

Shuji Tanaka

(Received January 22, 2018; Accepted February 27, 2018)

Keywords: micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), collaboration, tactile sensor

In this paper, “Open Collaboration” is defined as research and development (R&D) in a value/supply chain composed of different organizations including companies, universities and research institutes. If “Open Collaboration” is defined like this, it is not new but was not working well in Japanese universities. This paper first explains the scheme of “Open Collaboration” of micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) in Tohoku University. Then, the project of integrated tactile sensors is described as a successful example of “Open Collaboration”. The purpose of this paper is to promote “Open Collaboration” in the field of MEMS by introducing our practices.
