About
Naoto Yorino is a leading researcher in humanoid robotics, specializing in real-time balance and locomotion control on challenging terrains. His work focuses on integrating sensor feedback—particularly force and gyroscopic sensors—to enhance the stability and adaptability of lightweight humanoid robots. In his most-cited study (2020, 18 citations), Yorino experimentally demonstrated that force sensors extend a robot’s stable posture on inclined surfaces beyond critical thresholds, combining theoretical modeling with electrical feedback circuitry. His subsequent work (2020, 4 citations) introduced a gyro-sensor-based motor-control system for the KONDO KHR-3HV, using pitch angular velocity to enable dynamic walking on slopes. These contributions are pivotal for advancing real-world applications of humanoids in uneven environments, such as disaster response or outdoor navigation. By bridging sensor technology with control theory, Yorino’s research emphasizes practical, low-cost solutions for robust robotic mobility. His findings offer a foundation for students and engineers aiming to develop agile, sensor-driven robots capable of operating beyond flat, controlled settings.
