About

Kandai Kawano’s research focuses on precision robotics and thermal error compensation, with a particular emphasis on understanding how temperature variations affect the accuracy of robotic manipulators. His most cited work, “On Thermal Positioning Error of a Planar Robot Arm over Entire Workspace” (2023), makes a significant contribution by systematically investigating thermal deformation in robot links—an area often overlooked compared to machine-tool structures. Through a combination of theoretical modeling and experimental verification, Kawano demonstrated that thermal effects can introduce substantial positioning errors across a robot’s full workspace, and he validated the use of Denavit–Hartenberg parameters to characterize these deviations. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, provides a foundational framework for improving robot accuracy in environments with fluctuating temperatures, such as manufacturing floors or outdoor settings. Kawano’s research is particularly valuable for engineers designing high-precision robotic systems, offering practical insights into thermal error prediction and compensation strategies. His contributions highlight the critical role of environmental factors in robotic performance, paving the way for more robust and reliable automation solutions.
