About
Hiromasa Chigusa is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of tactile sensing and robotic skin, with a particular focus on scalable, large-area sensor integration. His key research areas include tactile sensor networks, two-dimensional communication (TDC) sheets, and proximity-based electrical connectors for distributed sensing systems. Chigusa’s major contribution is the development of the Resonant Proximity Connector (RPC), an electrode designed to be a quarter of the electromagnetic wavelength in length, which enables stable, non-contact power and data transmission between tactile sensor chips and TDC sheets. This innovation addresses a critical challenge in creating large-area, flexible robot skins: the reliable integration of discrete sensing elements without cumbersome wiring. His most cited work, “Large Area Tactile Sensor based on Proximity Connection of Tactile Sensing Elements” (2006), has garnered 6 citations and laid foundational groundwork for scalable tactile sensing architectures. By enabling robust proximity connections, Chigusa’s research advances the practical deployment of tactile sensors in robotics, human-machine interfaces, and smart environments, offering a pathway toward truly skin-like sensing surfaces.
