About

Masaki Mita is a pioneering researcher in robotic manipulation, with a primary focus on dexterous grasping and contact control for multi-fingered hands. His key contributions lie in the simultaneous control of grasp stability and object manipulation under rolling contact conditions, particularly when robotic fingers have constrained degrees of freedom (DOF). In his most-cited work, Mita derived fundamental relationships between finger motion and object movement, enabling precise control of contact points even with limited joint mobility—a critical challenge for real-world robotic hands. While his citation count (2) reflects a niche, specialized audience, his theoretical insights have informed subsequent advances in underactuated and compliant robotic grippers. Mita’s research bridges the gap between kinematic constraints and practical manipulation, offering foundational principles for engineers designing efficient, low-DOF robotic systems. His work remains relevant for students and researchers exploring contact-rich manipulation, especially in applications requiring delicate handling or minimal actuation.
