About
Hiroaki Kuno is a dedicated educator and researcher in robotics and mechatronics engineering, with a focus on active learning and wearable sensor technology. His most impactful work centers on developing innovative educational programs that integrate hands-on robot competitions to teach complex mechatronic systems—a method that has garnered 13 citations and shaped curriculum design at Okayama University of Science (OUS). Kuno’s research also advances flexible displacement sensors for measuring human and robotic movement, with applications in medical rehabilitation and power-assisted devices. His string-type flexible displacement sensor (FDS), detailed in two papers with a combined 6 citations, offers a novel approach to tracking motion in soft robotics and human body interfaces. By bridging education and practical sensor development, Kuno has contributed to both pedagogical strategies and assistive technology. His work underscores the importance of interdisciplinary knowledge—spanning electronics, mechanical engineering, and information engineering—in preparing students for real-world challenges in robotics and healthcare.
