About
Hirofumi Nogami is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, haptics, and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on developing advanced tactile and force-sensing technologies for robotic manipulation and rehabilitation. His most impactful contribution is the development of a micro-Laser Doppler Velocimeter (μ-LDV) for slip detection, enabling precise grasping force control in robotic hands—a paper that has garnered 28 citations and demonstrated a novel method for real-time feedback. Nogami further advanced sensor technology with a two-axial shearing force sensor combining an optical chip and elastic frame, cited 16 times, which enhances dexterous manipulation capabilities. In the biomedical domain, he has pioneered the use of real-time EMG signal processing with OneClassSVM to decode motion intentions for hand rehabilitation robots, a 2023 work with 7 citations that holds promise for post-stroke neurorehabilitation. His research bridges the gap between sensitive tactile feedback and practical robotic systems, contributing to both industrial automation and assistive medical devices. Nogami’s work is notable for its integration of optical sensing with soft robotics, offering robust solutions for slip detection and force control that are critical for safe human-robot interaction.
