About
Atsutoshi Ikeda is a leading researcher in anthropomorphic robotics and human–robot interaction, with a focus on dexterous manipulation and haptic perception. His major contributions include the development of the NAIST Hand, a human-sized anthropomorphic robot hand with a detachable wrist mechanism, which has garnered over 60 citations across its key publications. This work addresses the challenge of achieving human-like dexterity in robotic manipulators for next-generation manufacturing. Ikeda has also advanced remote control systems for multiple mobile robots using touch panel interfaces and autonomous mobility, reducing operator burden. In the biomedical domain, he pioneered robotic finger perturbation training to improve hand dexterity and postural steadiness, and developed tendon-driven robot hands to evaluate pinching effort and grasp efficiency through muscle activity estimation. His recent work on haptic perception training robots for physical therapists quantifies the difference between expert and novice haptic sensation, bridging robotics and rehabilitation. With a citation record exceeding 90, Ikeda’s interdisciplinary research continues to impact robotics, manufacturing, and healthcare.
