About
Koki Fukuda is a robotics researcher specializing in kinematic modeling and positioning accuracy of industrial robotic systems, with a particular focus on six-axis articulated robots. His work centers on advancing the mathematical frameworks used to characterize and compensate for geometric errors in robotic manipulators, pushing beyond conventional Denavit–Hartenberg (D-H) parameter approaches to address more nuanced sources of positioning inaccuracy. Fukuda's most significant contributions include the development of novel kinematic models that incorporate bidirectional angular positioning deviations and axis-to-axis crosstalk — phenomena largely overlooked by traditional modeling techniques. His 2022 paper on static volumetric error compensation and his 2021 work introducing crosstalk-aware kinematic modeling have together accumulated nearly 60 citations, reflecting strong recognition within the precision robotics community. His accessible 2021 tutorial on kinematic parameter identification has further established him as an educator in the field, helping practitioners and students bridge theory and industrial application. Particularly relevant to high-precision domains such as robotic machining and manufacturing, Fukuda's research directly addresses the challenge of improving absolute positioning accuracy in industrial robots — a critical bottleneck as robotics expands into tolerance-sensitive applications demanding submillimeter precision.
