About
Kenji Terabayashi is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on sensor systems for mobile robots, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and humanoid platforms. His primary research areas include indoor self-localization, range imaging, and 3D measurement using compact optical sensors. Terabayashi’s most cited paper (44 citations) introduces a simple indoor self-localization system using infrared LEDs as landmarks, enabling robust position and orientation estimation for mobile robots. He has also made notable contributions to obstacle detection for humanoid robots, constructing a compact range image sensor with a multi-slit laser projector that detects small obstacles on planar surfaces—critical for preventing falls in living spaces. His work extends to infrastructure inspection, where he developed position and posture measurement methods using laser projection markers, and to UAV applications, using omnidirectional cameras and identification markers for precise navigation. Terabayashi’s research emphasizes practical, low-cost sensor designs that enhance robot autonomy in real-world environments, from surgical assistance to disaster response. With over 80 total citations across his publications, his work continues to influence the development of reliable perception systems for field robotics.
