About
Takumi Kasai is a pioneering researcher in the emerging field of airborne ultrasound actuation, with a focus on contactless manipulation and mid-air robotics. His most-cited work, "Rotation and Position Control of a Cubic Object Using Airborne Ultrasound" (2020), introduces a novel method for controlling both the position and rotation of a cube-shaped object using phased arrays of ultrasound transducers. This research lays the groundwork for his long-term vision of creating fully untethered, mid-air robots that can be driven by ultrasound devices embedded in the surrounding environment. Kasai's contributions are significant for advancing non-contact handling in manufacturing, biomedical applications, and micro-assembly, where traditional grippers may cause damage or contamination. While his citation count is currently modest, the foundational nature of his work positions him as a key innovator in acoustic levitation and robotic manipulation. His achievements include developing precise multi-degree-of-freedom control of objects without physical contact, opening new possibilities for remote and sterile operations in robotics and materials science.
