About
Hiroki Takise is a robotics researcher advancing the frontier of soft, sensorized manipulation. His work centers on endowing standard robotic grippers—specifically vacuum suction cups—with intrinsic force-sensing capabilities. Takise’s major contribution lies in the direct integration of thin-film polymer sensors onto the flexible, three-dimensional surfaces of bellows suction cups. His most cited work (2020, 38 citations) introduces a novel approach where a conductive PEDOT polymer is directly coated onto a suction cup, enabling it to detect applied forces through resistance changes without bulky external sensors. In a complementary study (2019, 6 citations), he explored the feasibility of using piezoelectric PVDF films, comparing dip-coating and lamination methods to create a self-sensing robotic hand. These innovations are pivotal for delicate grasping tasks in manufacturing and healthcare, where tactile feedback is critical. By transforming a passive tool into an active, force-aware device, Takise’s research bridges materials science and robotics, offering a scalable path toward more dexterous and safer robotic manipulation.
