About
Naoto Yokomitsu is a researcher focused on advanced electromechanical systems, particularly spherical motors—a class of actuators capable of three-degrees-of-freedom rotation in any direction. His key research areas include magnetic field sensing, rotor posture measurement, and sensor array design for precision motion control. Yokomitsu’s major contribution lies in developing a rotor posture measurement system that analyzes magnetic fields from arrayed Hall sensors, enabling accurate real-time tracking of spherical motor orientation. This work addresses a critical challenge in applying spherical motors to robotic joints, camera control mechanisms, omnidirectional wheels, and industrial stirrers. While his most-cited paper (2019) has garnered 3 citations to date, its foundational approach to non-contact sensing has informed subsequent studies in multi-degree-of-freedom actuation. Yokomitsu’s research bridges the gap between theoretical motor designs and practical implementation, offering solutions for compact, versatile motion systems. His work is particularly relevant for students and researchers exploring novel actuator topologies, sensor fusion, and robotics, demonstrating how magnetic field analysis can unlock the full potential of spherical motors in real-world applications.
