About

Kensho Miyoshi is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on direct, natural, and multimodal engagement with autonomous aerial robots. His work redefines how humans and drones can collaborate without external controllers, motion tracking, or wireless systems—relying instead on onboard sensors like cameras and microphones to interpret human gestures and voice commands. His most-cited paper, "Above Your Hand" (2014, 14 citations), introduces a groundbreaking application where a multi-rotor robot responds intuitively to a user’s hand movements, enabling seamless, equipment-free interaction. In his related work, "Entertainment Multi-rotor Robot that realises Direct and Multimodal Interaction" (2014, 6 citations), Miyoshi extends this concept to entertainment contexts, demonstrating how drones can react to multimodal cues for playful, immersive experiences. These contributions have laid important groundwork for accessible, intuitive human-drone interfaces, inspiring further research in interactive robotics and autonomous systems. Miyoshi’s emphasis on eliminating external hardware marks a significant step toward making aerial robots practical for everyday use—from entertainment to assistive applications.
