About

Daigo Terutsuki is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, neuroethology, and biohybrid sensing. His work centers on developing bio-hybrid systems that harness the extraordinary olfactory capabilities of insects for advanced robotic applications, particularly in odor-source localization. Terutsuki’s major contributions include the creation of a bio-hybrid drone that integrates biological odor sensors with aerial platforms, achieving high-precision, extended-range detection—a breakthrough that overcomes the limitations of traditional image-based navigation. This work, published in 2025, has already garnered 10 citations, signaling its immediate impact. He has also advanced our understanding of insect olfaction through simulation-based studies, such as his 2024 paper on how silkworm moths use wing fanning to capture pheromones, which has been cited 7 times. Most recently, Terutsuki developed an insect antennae-inspired sensor capable of simultaneously measuring airflow and odor concentration, a dual-function innovation that mimics the natural sensing of insects like moths. His research not only deepens our understanding of biological sensing but also paves the way for next-generation drones and environmental monitoring systems, making him a rising star in bio-inspired engineering.
