About

Dr. Osamu Ohashi is a researcher in mobile robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on remote control systems and virtual-physical integration. His most-cited work, "A Remote Control Method for Mobile Robots Using Game Engines" (2014, 6 citations), introduces an innovative approach that uses game engines to create a virtual world that mirrors the real environment, allowing users to operate robots remotely via the internet. This method isolates the user’s control interface in the virtual space while the robot operates in the physical world, enhancing safety and usability. In a related study, "A Virtual Campus Tour Service Using Mobile Robots" (2014, 2 citations), Ohashi extends this concept to service robotics, proposing operation-type-specific improvements for real-time and non-real-time tasks, such as guided tours. Though his citation counts are modest, his work is notable for bridging virtual simulation and real-world robot control, offering practical frameworks for teleoperation and educational robotics. Ohashi’s contributions are particularly relevant for researchers exploring low-cost, accessible robot control systems using commercial game engines, and his ideas have potential applications in remote education, inspection, and entertainment services.
