About
Hayato Mori is a robotics researcher whose work bridges the gap between marine biology and autonomous systems, with a primary focus on underwater robotics and embedded control architectures. His most impactful contribution is the development of a small-size underwater robot designed to assist in abalone fishing, addressing a critical need in Japanese fisheries where legal size restrictions require precise visual inspection from boats. This work, his most cited paper with 19 citations, demonstrates his commitment to solving real-world environmental and resource management challenges. Mori further advanced the field with an innovative underwater crawling-swimming robot capable of attitude changing, enabling it to swim, crawl on the seafloor, and climb walls—enhancing access to narrow underwater spaces. More recently, he has expanded into autonomous ground robotics, designing a ROS2-based tiny robot car that integrates multiple FPGA nodes for lane detection and traffic signal recognition, showcasing his versatility in both hardware and middleware development. With a total of five published papers, Mori’s research is characterized by practical, application-driven designs that reduce human burden in hazardous environments, from shallow-sea surveys to urban autonomous driving.
