About
Hisao Fukumoto is a versatile robotics and systems researcher whose work spans physical robotic automation, cognitive architectures, and educational technology. His most impactful contribution is the development of an electroadhesive paper gripper for document-sorting robots, a key innovation for physical robotic process automation (RPA) that bridges the gap between digital and manual office tasks. This work, his most cited paper with 9 citations, demonstrates his focus on practical, real-world robotic applications. Fukumoto has also advanced humanoid robotics through reinforcement learning for bipedal walking, using simple reference motions to achieve stable locomotion—a significant step toward more adaptable humanoid robots. In cognitive robotics, he has explored gaze control via eye-head coordination, inspired by developmental psychology scales, and proposed a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP)-based blackboard architecture for agents operating in uncertain environments. Additionally, Fukumoto contributes to engineering education, developing simulated micro-grid systems and energy management support tools to rekindle student interest in electrical power and renewable energy. His work, totaling over 28 citations, reflects a commitment to both cutting-edge robotics research and educational innovation.
