About
Satoko Nagakari’s research lies at the intersection of robotic manipulation, tactile sensing, and adaptive control, with a focus on enabling robots to handle objects of unknown physical properties. Her most cited work, “Theoretical Derivation and Realization of Adaptive Grasping Based on Rotational Incipient Slip Detection” (2020, 15 citations), addresses a fundamental challenge in robotics: controlling grasp force to prevent slipping or crushing without prior knowledge of an object’s mass, friction, or compliance. Nagakari introduced a novel theoretical framework for detecting rotational incipient slip—the subtle motion that precedes full slippage—and implemented it in a real-time adaptive grasping system. This contribution is pivotal for advancing dexterous manipulation in unstructured environments, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and service robotics. Her work has been recognized for bridging theory and practice, offering a robust solution to a long-standing problem in grasp control. With growing citation impact, Nagakari’s research continues to inspire new approaches in tactile-driven robotics, positioning her as a key figure in the development of safer, more autonomous robotic hands.
