About

Motoki Futatsuya is a robotics and power electronics researcher whose work focuses on enabling advanced functionality in articulated robotic systems through innovative contactless power transfer. His key research areas include wireless power transmission, capacitive coupling, and robotic joint design. Futatsuya’s major contribution is the development of a contactless power transfer module for articulated arm robots, which uses a rotating disk capacitor for electric coupling and a series inductor to improve power factor. This design allows efficient power delivery to multiple joint parts without physical connectors, addressing a critical challenge in robotic mobility and reliability. His most-cited paper, “Contactless Power Transfer Module for an Articulated Arm Robot” (2018), has garnered 3 citations, reflecting its niche but foundational impact in the field. This work is notable for its practical approach to enabling continuous rotation and reducing wear in robotic systems, making it a valuable reference for researchers exploring wireless power in robotics. Futatsuya’s contributions support the development of more durable and flexible robotic platforms, with potential applications in manufacturing and automation.
