About
Hironori Miura is a pioneering researcher in human-robot coexistence, with a foundational focus on biomechanical safety standards for collaborative robotics. His most-cited work, "Evaluation of Pain Tolerance Based on a Biomechanical Method for Human-Robot Coexistence" (1997, 18 citations), established a critical framework for designing robots that can safely interact with humans. In this study, Miura proposed using somatic pain—a stable, non-adaptive human sensation—as a benchmark for robot force and motion limits, addressing a key challenge in physical human-robot interaction. This early contribution helped define safety parameters that influence modern collaborative robot design, particularly in industrial and service settings. Miura’s research bridges biomechanics and robotics, emphasizing empirical, human-centered approaches to ensure safe coexistence. While his citation count reflects a niche but impactful body of work, his insights remain relevant as robotics moves toward closer human collaboration. His work is especially valuable for students and engineers seeking to understand the physiological foundations of robot safety standards.
