About
Hiroyuki Nakamoto is a robotics and sensing researcher whose work spans flexible sensor development, multi-fingered robotic hands, and teleoperation systems. His most impactful contributions lie at the intersection of advanced materials and human-robot interaction, where he has pioneered stretchable strain sensors capable of measuring deformations exceeding 100% — a breakthrough for applications in wearable technology, smart textiles, and robotic skin. His 2014 and 2016 papers on carbon nanotube-based and anisotropic strain sensors have each garnered 47 citations, underscoring their significance to the flexible electronics community. Nakamoto has also made substantial contributions to dexterous robotic manipulation, developing multi-fingered universal robot hands equipped with tactile sensors, torque limiters, and joint torque feedback — enabling safer and more intuitive human-robot collaboration. His research on inertial motion capture-based teleoperation systems allows operators to intuitively control robotic hands and arms through natural human movement, with haptic feedback enhancing remote manipulation precision. Beyond hardware, Nakamoto has contributed to robotic software infrastructure, including deployment frameworks for component-based RT systems. Collectively, his work — accumulating over 240 citations — reflects a sustained commitment to bridging sensing, mechanical design, and intelligent control in next-generation robotic systems.
