About
Keigo Maruta is a roboticist whose work centers on dexterous manipulation and soft robotics, with a particular focus on enabling dynamic object grasping and regrasping without external sensors. His major contributions lie in the development of a novel dual- and triple-fingered robotic hand system that employs soft, hemispheric fingertips equipped with torsional joints. This design allows the hand to perform complex three-dimensional object manipulations—including dynamic regrasping—by leveraging the torsional motion of the fingertips, a capability that surpasses the limitations of human hands and conventional humanoid robotic hands. Maruta’s most-cited papers, each garnering 21 citations, demonstrate the foundational impact of his work: one introduces the external-sensorless dynamic manipulation method using a dual-fingered hand, while the other extends this approach to a triple-fingered configuration for more complex regrasping tasks. His research simplifies motion planning and enhances robotic autonomy, offering a pathway toward more agile and sensor-efficient robotic hands. Maruta’s achievements are notable for pushing the boundaries of what soft robotic hands can achieve without reliance on external sensing, making his work a key reference in the fields of robotic manipulation and soft robotics.
