About
Koki Oikawa is a leading researcher in advanced actuator technologies, with a primary focus on the development of high-performance spherical ultrasonic motors (SUSMs). His work addresses the critical challenge of creating compact, multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) actuators that eliminate the need for complex reduction gearing. Oikawa’s major contribution lies in the design and examination of high-torque sandwich-type SUSMs, particularly through the use of high-power multimode annular vibrating stators. His most-cited paper, "Examination of High-Torque Sandwich-Type Spherical Ultrasonic Motor Using with High-Power Multimode Annular Vibrating Stator" (2018), has garnered 24 citations, demonstrating its influence in the field of precision actuation. This research is notable for achieving high holding torque and high torque at low speeds, making these motors ideal for applications in robotics, medical devices, and aerospace where compact, simple structures are essential. Oikawa’s work is pivotal in advancing the practicality of MDOF-SUSMs, offering a promising path toward more efficient and miniaturized actuation systems for next-generation technologies.
