About

Hiromi Mori is a pioneering researcher in robotics, with a focus on advancing human-robot interaction for critical applications. Her key research areas include remote manipulation systems for hazardous environments and the integration of communication robots in healthcare settings. Mori’s most notable contribution is her work on the "hot-line manipulator," a semi-automatic, remotely controlled robot designed for overhead power line maintenance. This project, developed in collaboration with Kyushu Electric Power Company, represents a foundational step toward fully autonomous systems for dangerous tasks, earning 28 citations for its impact on industrial robotics. In healthcare, Mori explored the use of communication robots to support older patients in acute hospital settings, as detailed in her 2019 case trial. This work, with 9 citations, highlights her commitment to applying robotics for social good, addressing the challenges of an aging population. Mori’s achievements bridge engineering and human-centered design, demonstrating how robotics can enhance safety and quality of life. Her research continues to inspire innovations in both industrial automation and assistive technology.
