About
Kosuke Sato’s research bridges robotics, human-robot interaction, and cognitive science, with a particular focus on how cultural and religious backgrounds shape moral attitudes toward robots. His most cited work (2023, 24 citations) reveals that religion-related values differently influence moral concern for robots in the United States and Japan, offering critical insights for designing socially acceptable autonomous systems across cultures. Earlier contributions include developing a block machine for volleyball attack training (2017), where three robots simulate top blockers to improve spike decision rates—an innovative application of robotics in sports science. Sato also advanced 3-D object recognition using functional models (1992) and real-time tracking of free objects via range image sequences (1999), foundational work for robots operating in dynamic environments. His construction of an interpersonal interaction system using a real image-based avatar (2013) further explores human-computer communication. With a career spanning decades, Sato’s work demonstrates a unique blend of technical robotics and sociocultural analysis, making him a notable figure in understanding how robots can be integrated into human life. His cross-cultural studies are particularly impactful for researchers and students interested in ethical AI and human-robot coexistence.
