About
Kanae Hamaguchi is a leading researcher in bioinspired robotics, specializing in the development of flapping-wing micro aerial vehicles (FW-MAVs). Her work focuses on advancing piezoelectric direct-driven actuation, a technology that eliminates complex transmission mechanisms to achieve simpler, more efficient flight. In her highly cited 2018 paper, "Bioinspired Flapping-Wing Robot With Direct-Driven Piezoelectric Actuation and Its Takeoff Demonstration" (73 citations), Hamaguchi demonstrated a prototype capable of takeoff, marking a significant milestone in miniaturized flight. She further refined this approach in her 2020 study, "Improved lift force of a resonant-driven flapping-wing micro aerial vehicle by suppressing wing–body and wing–wing vibration coupling" (14 citations), where she identified and mitigated vibration coupling effects to enhance lift performance. These contributions have established Hamaguchi as a key innovator in the field, addressing critical challenges in stability, efficiency, and structural simplicity for FW-MAVs. Her work holds promise for applications in environmental monitoring, search-and-rescue, and surveillance, where small, agile aerial robots are essential.
