About
Keisuke Hasegawa is a pioneering roboticist whose research lies at the intersection of acoustic levitation, mid-air manipulation, and 3D object recognition. His most celebrated contribution is the development of a novel robotic framework that uses ultrasound plane waves to achieve three-dimensional manipulation of spherical objects. In his highly cited 2018 work, Hasegawa demonstrated a lightweight balloon robot with no onboard actuators or batteries, capable of traveling freely within a workspace using five sparsely arranged ultrasound transducer arrays. This breakthrough, garnering 18 citations, opens new frontiers for contactless manipulation in microgravity and hazardous environments. Earlier in his career, Hasegawa made significant strides in 3D object localization for teleoperated systems, developing robust methods using local EGI (Extended Gaussian Image) and 3D template matching with M-estimators. His 2002 and 2003 papers, with 6 and 5 citations respectively, addressed critical challenges in automating insulator recognition and positional adjustments for electric line maintenance robots. Hasegawa’s work seamlessly bridges fundamental physics and practical robotics, offering elegant solutions for precise, contactless control in complex operational settings.
