About
Motohiro Fujiyoshi is a pioneering researcher in MEMS-based sensing systems, with a focus on tactile sensors, inertial sensors, and electronic skin technologies for robotics and automotive applications. His work spans the full spectrum of sensor development, from novel device architectures to advanced integration and packaging methodologies. Fujiyoshi has made significant contributions to the field of capacitive tactile sensing, most notably through the development of MEMS-on-CMOS integrated sensor platforms utilizing Through Silicon Via (TSV) technology and BCB isolation layers — work that has garnered 31 citations across multiple publications. His quad-seesaw-electrode structure enabled fully-differential 3-axis tactile sensing in a compact, surface-mountable form factor, representing a substantial leap in miniaturization and performance. In inertial sensing, his zigzag-shaped Z-electrode design for SOI accelerometers, alongside topology-optimized stress isolation structures, addressed critical challenges in bias drift and packaging-induced error — vital for autonomous vehicle and robotic positioning systems. More recently, Fujiyoshi has pushed frontiers in large-scale electronic skin, proposing fault-tolerant self-rerouting sensor networks and neuro-inspired scalable architectures, reflecting a broader vision of robots that can sense and interact with their environments with biological-like robustness. With over 125 cumulative citations, his research continues to shape the future of intelligent robotic sensing.
