About

Kohei Mima is a pioneering researcher in the field of telemanipulation and humanoid robotics, with a focus on advancing human-robot interaction through remote control systems. His most notable contribution, "Telemanipulation with a humanoid robot hand/arm between USA and Japan," demonstrates a groundbreaking system that enables real-time, transcontinental control of a robotic hand and arm. In this work, Mima developed a method where the robot's finger angles are precisely mapped to the operator's finger movements, while the arm's position follows the operator's own positioning, effectively bridging vast distances for seamless teleoperation. Although his highly specialized work has garnered modest citation counts (7 citations for this key paper), its impact lies in its technical innovation and practical implications for remote surgery, hazardous environment exploration, and assistive robotics. Mima's achievements highlight the potential for humanoid robots to extend human capabilities across the globe, making him a notable figure in telemanipulation research.
