About

Tadatoshi Kurogi is a pioneering researcher in the field of telexistence and human-robot interaction, with a focus on creating immersive telepresence systems that allow operators to feel physically present in remote environments. His most significant contribution is the design and development of TELESAR V, a dexterous anthropomorphic robot that enables the transfer of bodily consciousness during teleoperation. This groundbreaking work, detailed in his highly cited 2012 paper (93 citations), demonstrates how an operator can perceive their own body as the robot’s, achieving seamless control and sensory feedback. Kurogi’s research integrates robotics, haptics, and cognitive science to advance the concept of telexistence—a technology that allows humans to interact with remote spaces in real time. His achievements include engineering human-like neck movements and full-body coordination in TELESAR V, pushing the boundaries of telepresence realism. With over 130 combined citations for his key works, Kurogi’s innovations have profound implications for applications in remote surgery, hazardous environment exploration, and virtual collaboration, establishing him as a leading figure in next-generation robotic interfaces.
