About
Kota Kitamichi is a researcher in haptic engineering and human-machine interaction, with a focus on tactile sensing and intersubjective experience. His work explores how tactile sensations—critical for recognizing mechanical interactions between the body and environment—can be shared across individuals, bridging the gap between personal perception and collaborative skill transfer. His most cited paper, "Intersubjective Tactile Sharing Method Based on Human Skin Vibration Characteristics" (2022), introduces a novel approach to haptic sharing by leveraging human skin vibration properties, enabling users to experience another person’s or robot’s tactile feedback. This work, though early in its citation impact (2 citations), represents a foundational step toward applications in remote skill training, teleoperation, and assistive robotics. Kitamichi’s contributions are particularly notable for their potential to transform how tactile expertise—such as in surgical or manufacturing tasks—can be transmitted across individuals, making him a rising figure in the field of haptics and embodied interaction.
