About

Tatsuo Miyazaki is a pioneering researcher in the field of industrial robotics, with a specific focus on automated painting systems for large-scale manufacturing. His key research areas include numerical control (NC) painting robots, computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM), and process automation for heavy industries such as shipbuilding. Miyazaki’s major contributions lie in developing the foundational methodologies for robotic painting of large steel products, particularly through his work on the "NC Painting Robot For Shipbuilding," which has garnered 14 citations. In his related study on "Numerical Painting Application and Control for NC Painting Robot," he systematically clarified the numerical conditions—such as spray distance and painting velocity—necessary for precise robot control, aiming to realize a fully integrated CIM painting process. Although his citation counts are modest, his work represents an early and critical step toward automating a traditionally manual and hazardous task. Miyazaki’s research is notable for its practical, industry-driven approach, bridging the gap between theoretical robotics and real-world shipyard applications, and laying groundwork for subsequent advances in automated surface finishing.
