About
Ryota Hori’s research centers on advancing robotic grasping and manipulation, with a particular focus on the interplay between admittance and impedance control for safe human-robot interaction. His major contributions lie in developing control frameworks that enable robot hand-arm systems to achieve soft, stable grasping—a critical capability for collaborative robotics. Hori introduced novel methods for computing internal and external impedances for two-finger robots, allowing for precise regulation of contact forces during object grasping. He further extended these principles to multi-finger-arm systems, integrating manipulability control to enhance dexterity and task adaptability. His work on dynamic movement via admittance control demonstrates how redundant finger-arm robots can mimic human hand-arm coordination for constrained tasks. While his citation counts (2–7 per paper) reflect a focused, emerging impact, his foundational algorithms for impedance-based grasping have been cited in subsequent studies on robot hand control and human-robot collaboration. Hori’s research is particularly notable for bridging theoretical control theory with practical robotic applications, offering a pathway toward safer, more intuitive physical interactions between robots and humans.
