About
Satomi Hanasaki is a rising force in the field of humanoid robotics, with a focused expertise in bipedal locomotion and dynamic gait generation. Her research centers on solving the fundamental challenge of enabling robots to move with the fluidity and adaptability of humans, specifically addressing the critical transition between walking and running. Hanasaki’s major contribution lies in her development of a novel running trajectory generation method based on the time-varying linear inverted pendulum mode (LIPM). This work, which has garnered 5 citations, provides a simple yet powerful optimization for generating the vertical center-of-mass motion essential for both steady-state running and seamless gait transitions. Further expanding her impact, she has also proposed a continuous-time walking pattern generator that achieves a smooth transition between flat-contact and heel-to-toe walking, a feat accomplished by leveraging a modified LIPM with a closed-form solution. While her career is still in its early stages, Hanasaki’s work is already recognized for its potential to unlock more natural and efficient locomotion for humanoid robots, marking her as a promising innovator in the field.
