About
Riku Seino is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on novel actuation and manipulation systems, particularly the design of lightweight, high-extension linear actuators. His major contribution is the development of a 300-N class convex-based telescopic manipulator, which utilizes a clustered elastic convex tape to achieve an ultra-wide expansion range while maintaining mechanical toughness. This design represents a significant departure from conventional linear actuators, offering superior extension capabilities and drastically reduced weight. Seino also extended this principle to a 3-DOF parallel mechanism robot, demonstrating the practical application of his actuator in multi-degree-of-freedom systems. His most-cited paper (2021) has garnered 4 citations, establishing a foundation for future work in deployable and resilient robotic structures. By addressing the fundamental trade-off between extension range and structural integrity, Seino’s research holds promise for applications in aerospace, search-and-rescue, and other fields requiring compact, powerful, and lightweight manipulators.
