About
Jyunpei Kishikawa is a robotics researcher focused on the challenging intersection of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and infrastructure maintenance. His primary research areas include aerial manipulation, physical human-robot interaction, and the development of lightweight robotic systems for structural inspection. Kishikawa’s most notable contribution is his pioneering work on a UAV equipped with a manipulator for bridge inspection, where he proposed a compact, lightweight hammering system and a control method enabling stable contact with vertical infrastructure walls. This work directly addresses Japan’s critical mandate for quinquennial infrastructure inspections, particularly in high and dangerous locations. While his most-cited paper, “UAV with Manipulator for Bridge Inspection” (2019), has garnered 3 citations, its practical significance is substantial, offering a safer alternative to traditional, hazardous manual inspections. Kishikawa’s research exemplifies the application of robotics to solve real-world safety and maintenance challenges, positioning him as a key contributor to the field of aerial robotics for civil engineering.
