About

Fuminori Matsuoka is a researcher working at the intersection of wireless power transfer technology and industrial automation, with a particular focus on autonomous robotics systems for manufacturing and logistics environments. His most recognized work centers on the development of dynamic wireless power transfer (WPT) systems designed to support vehicle logistics robots in automotive production settings. This research addresses the pressing industrial challenge of labor reduction in vehicle yards — temporary storage areas where automobiles are aligned before shipping — by enabling autonomous robots to operate continuously without the interruptions of conventional wired charging. Matsuoka's approach integrates dynamic power delivery directly into the robot's operational workflow, representing a meaningful step toward fully automated automotive yard management. While his publication record is still emerging, with his primary work accumulating 6 citations since 2022, his research tackles a highly practical and commercially relevant problem that aligns with growing industry demand for smart manufacturing solutions. Students and researchers interested in applied wireless power systems, autonomous ground vehicles, or Industry 4.0 automation will find Matsuoka's contributions a valuable reference point for real-world implementation challenges in production-line robotics.
