About
Naoya Kurihara is a researcher focused on advancing industrial robotics, particularly in the domain of finishing and polishing automation. His work addresses a critical bottleneck in manufacturing: the difficulty of setting task parameters for force-controlled polishing robots, which has hindered their widespread adoption despite the proliferation of industrial robots. Kurihara’s key contribution is the proposal of an automatic task parameter setting system for polishing robots, which simplifies the complex process of adjusting pressing force and tool interaction, making these systems more accessible and practical for factory use. This work, published in 2015, has garnered 3 citations, reflecting its niche but foundational role in the field. Additionally, Kurihara has contributed to mechatronics education, developing and evaluating a hands-on curriculum where students—including mixed groups of Japanese and Brazilian learners—build their own line tracing robots. This educational initiative, published in 2016 (1 citation), demonstrates his commitment to bridging theory and practice, fostering international collaboration, and inspiring the next generation of engineers. Kurihara’s research stands at the intersection of practical robotics and education, aiming to democratize advanced manufacturing technologies.
