About

Masayoshi Sugino is a leading researcher in wireless power transfer (WPT) systems, with a specific focus on industrial automation and robotics. His work addresses critical challenges in maintenance and energy efficiency for modern manufacturing environments. Sugino’s most notable contribution is the development of the Class E push-pull inverter for WPT, a design that enables efficient, contactless power delivery to industrial robots. His 2017 paper on this topic, which has garnered 31 citations, tackles the pressing issue of decreasing working populations by proposing a maintenance-saving feeding system that eliminates the need for battery upkeep. Expanding on this, his 2016 work on a linear motion transfer robot—cited 15 times—solves the drawbacks of traditional Cableveyor systems, which suffer from power losses due to cable weight and frequent wire breaks. By developing a wireless alternative, Sugino has paved the way for more reliable and autonomous robotic systems. His research is particularly impactful for students and engineers interested in power electronics, automation, and sustainable industrial design, offering practical solutions that reduce downtime and operational costs in real-world applications.
