About
Tetsuto Minami is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a focus on how people and autonomous systems can move and work together seamlessly. His work bridges robotics, biomechanics, and cognitive science, exploring how robots can interpret and respond to subtle human cues. Minami’s most impactful contribution is his pioneering work on gaze-controlled robotics, where he developed a master-slave eye robot system that enables operators to control a remote camera simply by moving their eyes, achieving response times comparable to human saccades. This research, which has garnered 4 citations, lays the groundwork for intuitive, high-speed teleoperation. More recently, Minami has turned his attention to the challenges of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in smart cities. He has identified waist rotation angle as a key indicator for predicting human collision-avoidance behavior, a finding that could make AMR navigation safer and more natural. Additionally, his ongoing work on human comfort during load carrying to AMRs is systematically analyzing how people approach and interact with robots in logistics scenarios. With a growing citation record and a focus on real-world applications, Minami is shaping the future of socially aware robotics.
