About
Kyoichi Tatsuno is a robotics researcher whose career spans several decades, with a sustained focus on force-controlled robotic systems, autonomous navigation, and remote operation technologies. His earliest and most influential contribution — a force-controlled finishing robot system capable of handling variable-geometry cast workpieces in manufacturing environments (1995, 38 citations) — demonstrated his pioneering interest in adaptive robotic control, addressing real-world industrial challenges that rigid position-controlled systems could not solve. A significant portion of Tatsuno's work centers on the development of semi-autonomous robots for power distribution line maintenance, an application area demanding both precision and worker safety. Across multiple publications from 2010 to 2016, he advanced task-level command architectures, compliance control, object recognition, and human-robot interface design for this hazardous domain. His remote visitor robot (2009) and telepresence navigation work (2016) further illustrate his broad interest in making robots accessible and operable across distances via the internet. With a cumulative citation record reflecting consistent contributions across industrial automation, field robotics, and human-robot interaction, Tatsuno's research offers students a valuable example of applied robotics addressing genuine societal needs — from safer electrical infrastructure maintenance to autonomous agricultural systems such as weed-mowing robots.
