About
K. Ohnishi is a pioneering researcher in robotics, whose work spans sensor design, mobile manipulation, and bilateral control systems. Ohnishi’s most influential contribution is the development of a novel rotary acceleration sensor (1995, 32 citations), which can measure angular acceleration independently of rotational speed and offers an unlimited rotation range—a breakthrough for robust motor and vibration control. In mobile robotics, Ohnishi advanced trajectory planning for nonholonomic robots, using NURBS curves to track moving targets (2004, 14 citations), and improved traction in two-wheel mobile manipulators by dynamically shifting the center of gravity (2005, 8 citations). Ohnishi also made key contributions to bilateral teleoperation, proposing hybrid position-force control (2004, 10 citations) and addressing network time delays with RTLinux-based systems (2005, 4 citations). Further notable work includes tactile recognition for surgical robots (2005, 3 citations) and collision detection for safe path planning (2003, 4 citations). With a career focused on enhancing robot autonomy, dexterity, and human-robot interaction, Ohnishi’s research remains foundational for students and engineers working in advanced mechatronics and control systems.
