About
Hisao Jitosho is a researcher in the field of rehabilitation and assistive robotics, with a specific focus on the control of soft, wearable power-assist devices. His major contribution lies in addressing the inherent control challenges of systems actuated by McKibben artificial muscles—pneumatic actuators known for their high nonlinearity and complex dynamics. Jitosho’s most cited work, "A reference augmentation design for the adaptive control of a wearable assist robot powered by the McKibben actuator" (2017), proposes a novel control architecture that enhances system stability and tracking performance. By augmenting the reference input, his design enables more precise and adaptive force support for individuals performing physically demanding tasks. This work has garnered 3 citations, serving as a foundational reference for engineers developing robust controllers for soft, muscle-like actuators. Jitosho’s research is particularly impactful for advancing human-robot interaction in industrial and rehabilitation settings, where safe and responsive power augmentation is critical. His contributions help bridge the gap between theoretical control design and practical, real-world wearable robotics.
