Online courses are now open to the public and available for free. Both courses are in Japanese and available on the online MOOC platform edX. The duration of the course is 5 weeks. Now open for enrollment.

Programming for beginners: Learning basics with computer Shogi

This course is for beginners of programming. The course is taught by Professor Atsushi Takahashi, School of Engineering, and you will learn the basics and various techniques of coding with computer Shogi on MATLAB. The course uses “MT Shogi (*)”, a Shogi program that runs on MATLAB. During the duration of the course (plus some extra days), the MATLB license will be issued by The MathWorks, Inc. Even those without the MATLAB environment will be able to have the full experience during the duration of the course.
This is an updated version of the online course that was open to Tokyo Tech students and faculty until this March. Extra contents have been added (“Week 4 Computer vs. computer game [Overview]” and “Week 5: Computer vs. computer game [Implementation]”), and quizzes have been updated.

Introduction to the Super Smart Society

The “Super Smart Society,” a future society in which unmanned tractors plow vast fields, automated buses and trucks transport people and goods, and avatar robots provide nursing care, is just around the corner. In this course, researchers at Tokyo Tech introduce and explain the cutting-edge research being conducted to realize the Super Smart Society, from an engineering perspective. By standing at the forefront of research that seeks to create the “Super Smart Society” from an engineering perspective, you will learn how researchers are tackling social issues and what kind of scientific and technological innovations they are using to provide solutions to these issues.
