About
Shinya Koide is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of haptics, human perception, and robotics. His key research areas include haptic rendering, tactile feedback, and the biomechanics of touch, with a particular focus on how friction forces and moments influence human interaction with virtual and physical environments. Koide’s most notable contribution is the development of the “friction moment arc method,” a computational technique that allows for the independent calculation of static and dynamic friction moments on the human fingertip, without requiring a separate friction force calculation. This work, detailed in his 2010 paper “Perception and Haptic Rendering of Friction Moments,” has garnered 12 citations and laid important groundwork for more realistic haptic simulations. By also designing a novel finger holder to isolate these effects, Koide has helped bridge the gap between theoretical models of touch and practical haptic device design. His research is particularly valuable for advancing virtual reality, teleoperation, and assistive technologies, offering engineers and interaction designers a deeper understanding of the subtle mechanical cues that shape our sense of touch.
