About
Hiroyuki Kano is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work spans biomedical plasma physics, robotic trajectory planning, and manipulator control. His most significant contribution lies at the intersection of plasma technology and oncology: his 2012 study on nonequilibrium atmospheric pressure plasma (NEAPP) demonstrated the selective induction of apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells while sparing healthy fibroblasts, a landmark finding that has garnered over 300 citations and positioned plasma-based cancer therapy as a promising frontier in biomedical engineering. Beyond biomedical applications, Kano has made sustained contributions to mobile robotics, developing sophisticated B-spline-based trajectory planning methods that enforce curvature, velocity, and acceleration constraints — work that addresses core practical challenges in autonomous robot navigation. His earlier research on robotic manipulator control, dating to 1989, explored minimum-acceleration trajectory optimization, revealing a long-standing commitment to elegant mathematical solutions for robot motion problems. His more recent work on dexterous multi-fingered robotic grasping further reflects his broad engineering interests. Together, Kano's body of work illustrates a researcher with a remarkable range, bridging life sciences and advanced robotics through rigorous mathematical and experimental methodology.
