About
Yurie Okugawa is a researcher specializing in precision measurement and manufacturing engineering, with a core focus on developing automated systems for evaluating complex industrial components. Her key research areas include measurement posture planning, configuration space (C-space) analysis, and non-destructive thickness evaluation for free-form surfaces. Okugawa’s major contribution lies in addressing a critical gap in press-mold evaluation: the lack of appropriate systems for measuring the thickness of free curved plates. Her pioneering work, detailed in her 2013 paper “Development of a System for Measuring the Thickness of Free Curved Plates – Measurement Posture Planning Using C-Space –,” introduces an automatic measurement and evaluation system that optimizes sensor positioning through C-space planning. This innovation enables precise thickness assessment of arbitrarily shaped surfaces, directly improving mold quality control in manufacturing. While her most-cited work has garnered 2 citations, its practical significance is underscored by its direct application to industrial press evaluation, a field where accurate thickness measurement is essential for product integrity. Okugawa’s research exemplifies how robotic path planning and geometric reasoning can solve real-world metrology challenges, making her work valuable for engineers and researchers in automated inspection and manufacturing quality assurance.
