About

Kodai Fuchino is a robotics researcher specializing in human-robot interaction, skill transfer, and virtual reality (VR)-enhanced coaching systems. His work focuses on developing robotic platforms that enable remote, contactless physical training—a challenge amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Fuchino’s major contributions include the creation of the **T2Snaker**, a robotic coach for table tennis that simulates human-like ball feeding and feedback, allowing athletes to practice without a human partner. This system, with 5 citations, directly addressed pandemic-era restrictions on human contact. He further advanced this concept with **T2Remoter** (2 citations), a pioneering system that integrates VR and robotics to deliver real-time, remote coaching for skill acquisition, overcoming the loss of direct physical interaction in training environments. By combining immersive VR environments with robotic actuators, Fuchino’s work demonstrates how technology can replicate the nuances of in-person coaching, offering scalable solutions for sports training and rehabilitation. His research has been recognized for its practical impact on remote collaboration and skill-transfer, laying groundwork for future human-robot coaching systems. Fuchino’s innovative approach positions him as a key figure in the intersection of robotics, VR, and sports science.
