About
Daiki Kondo is a researcher in smart textiles and wearable sensing technologies, with a focus on developing flexible, fabric-based sensors for human-machine interaction and robotics. His major contributions center on the innovative use of electro-conductive yarns to create low-profile, knitted sensors capable of detecting slippage—a critical function for prosthetic hands and robotic grippers. In his most-cited work, "Development of a low-profile sensor using electro-conductive yarns in recognition of slippage" (2011, 15 citations), Kondo demonstrated how tension-sensitive conductive yarns, which exhibit a marked drop in resistance when elongated along their main axis, can be specially knitted to form a slip sensor. This design overcomes the yarn’s directional sensitivity, enabling reliable detection of surface movement. Though his citation count is modest, Kondo’s work is notable for its practical, low-cost approach to integrating sensing directly into textile structures, paving the way for more natural and responsive wearable systems. His research bridges materials science and engineering, offering a foundation for future advancements in soft robotics and assistive devices.
