About
Kenta Nagano is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on enhancing the safety, mobility, and performance of robotic systems, particularly through innovations in actuation and locomotion. His primary research areas include backdrivable reduction gearboxes for robotic actuators and wheel-legged mobile robots. Nagano’s most significant contribution is the development of the "Bilateral Drive Gear," a highly backdrivable reduction gearbox designed for cooperative robots, which enables safer human-robot interaction by improving force detection and control—a work that has garnered 86 citations. He has also made notable advances in solving the singular configuration problem in wheel-legged robots, proposing methods to stabilize low-speed locomotion and simplify motion generation, with related papers accumulating over 30 citations. His research extends to control strategies for wheeled inverted pendulum robots and Zero Moment Point estimation for dynamic motion. Nagano’s work is highly relevant to the fields of collaborative robotics and mobile manipulation, and his papers have been published in key robotics venues, reflecting his impact on developing more responsive and adaptable robotic systems for real-world applications.
