About
Dr. Hiroki Fukuda is a robotics researcher whose work bridges precision agricultural technology and adaptive locomotion. His primary research areas include greenhouse robotics, sensor-based positioning systems, and bio-inspired bipedal control. Dr. Fukuda’s most impactful contribution is the development of a novel position and orientation measurement system using spread spectrum sound for greenhouse robots, a method that enables accurate, low-cost navigation for small, distributed robotic platforms in agricultural settings—a critical advancement for making greenhouse automation more accessible (2020, 16 citations). He further refined this approach in a related study (2018, 4 citations), addressing the challenge of orientation measurement for lightweight robots. In a different vein, Dr. Fukuda has explored adaptive bipedal walking, demonstrating how soft, deformable feet can be exploited through sensory-motor coordination and a central pattern generator (CPG)-based control framework to achieve stable locomotion (2012, 3 citations). This work highlights his versatility in tackling both practical agricultural robotics and fundamental problems in legged locomotion. Dr. Fukuda’s research is characterized by its focus on low-cost, sensor-driven solutions that enhance robot autonomy in complex, real-world environments.
