About

Shingo Kagami is a pioneering researcher in high-speed vision systems and real-time robotic perception, whose work pushes the boundaries of how machines see and interact with the world. His core research spans high-speed image acquisition, visual servoing, and intelligent robotic manipulation, with a focus on achieving real-time performance at frame rates of hundreds to thousands per second—far beyond standard video. Kagami’s major contributions include developing high-speed vision systems that enable rapid object tracking and prediction, as demonstrated in his work on flying object trajectory estimation for robotic catching. He also advanced visual servoing techniques, achieving high-speed, high-accuracy pose estimation using stereo cameras, and tackled complex manipulation tasks like aligning flexible sheet objects and designing an automatic dishwashing robot system with dual 7-DOF manipulators. His most-cited paper, “High-speed vision systems and projectors for real-time perception of the world” (16 citations), provides a foundational overview of this field. Kagami’s work has garnered over 60 citations, reflecting its impact on robotics and computer vision. Notably, he has explored unconventional applications, such as using high-speed vision for human-in-the-loop air hockey games and modeling multi-agent systems inspired by collective animal behavior, showcasing his versatility and innovative approach to real-time perception and control.
