About
Mami Jono is a pioneering researcher in the field of automated metal forming and robotic manufacturing. Her primary research areas include forging-type rapid prototyping, industrial robotics, and CAD/CAM systems for metal deformation processes. Jono’s most notable contribution is the development of a forging-type rapid prototyping system that automates the traditional metal hammering process using an industrial robot. Her seminal 2012 paper, which has garnered 8 citations, addresses the critical relationship between hammering direction and product shape—a foundational challenge in automating this craft. By creating a CAD/CAM system capable of defining product geometries and generating precise tool paths, Jono has bridged the gap between manual metalworking and digital manufacturing. Her work is particularly significant because it tackles the complex, non-linear nature of metal deformation, which differs fundamentally from subtractive methods like cutting. Although her citation count is modest, Jono’s research holds substantial practical value for industries seeking to automate bespoke metal forming, and her innovative approach to robotic hammering has laid important groundwork for future advancements in rapid prototyping and customized manufacturing.
