About

K. Kurahashi is a researcher whose work centers on the development of innovative sensors for robotic applications, with a particular focus on piezoelectric technologies. Their most notable contribution is the design of a shear-type piezoelectric force/force-derivative sensor, which offers significant advantages over conventional multilayer piezoelectric cells, including a simpler structure, lower drive voltage, and reduced weight. This sensor has been applied to contact force control in robotic systems, demonstrating practical utility in enhancing precision and responsiveness. While their most-cited paper, published in 2002, has garnered 3 citations, it reflects a focused and specialized impact within the field of robotics and sensor engineering. Kurahashi’s work contributes to the advancement of tactile sensing and control mechanisms, which are critical for the development of more dexterous and autonomous robots. Their research underscores a commitment to creating efficient, lightweight solutions that improve the interaction between robots and their environments, making it a valuable reference for students and researchers exploring sensor design and robotic manipulation.
