About
Daiki Morozumi is a rising roboticist whose work reimagines legged locomotion by drawing inspiration from the many-legged mechanics of centipedes and myriapods. His core research focuses on bio-inspired robotics, nonlinear dynamics, and the exploitation of instability for controlled movement. Morozumi’s major contribution lies in demonstrating that body-axis flexibility and bifurcation phenomena—traditionally seen as challenges to stability—can be harnessed for efficient, maneuverable locomotion in multi-legged robots. In his 2023 paper, "Maneuverable and Efficient Locomotion of a Myriapod Robot with Variable Body-Axis Flexibility via Instability and Bifurcation" (6 citations), he showed how controlled instability allows a long, many-legged robot to navigate complex terrain and recover from leg malfunctions. His 2022 work, "Advanced Turning Maneuver of a Many-Legged Robot Using Pitchfork Bifurcation" (5 citations), introduced a novel turning strategy that leverages pitchfork bifurcation, enabling sharp, agile turns without sacrificing stability. Though early in his career, Morozumi’s innovative approach—turning robotic vulnerability into a design advantage—has already captured attention in the soft and legged robotics communities, promising more resilient and versatile machines for real-world deployment.
