About
Tomohisa Tanaka is a researcher whose work spans precision mechanical systems, robotic manipulation, and automated manufacturing. His key research areas include the dynamic behavior of linear rolling guideways, multifingered robot hand control, and robotic surface sculpturing. Tanaka’s major contributions are evident in his most-cited paper, "Influence of lubricant on nonlinear vibration characteristics of linear rolling guideway" (2019, 27 citations), which advances understanding of natural vibrations in guideways critical for robots and machine tools. He also demonstrated robust execution of regrasping primitives like rotation and pivoting on a four-fingered hand using real-time sensor control (2003, 20 citations), addressing common grasp errors. Additionally, Tanaka developed an 8-axis robot-based rough cutting system for surface sculpturing (2006, 13 citations) and automated tool path generation (2008, 3 citations), integrating CAD/CAM for carving polystyrene foams. His work on using ultrasound to measure grasping force in soft robot fingers (2004, 3 citations) and creating a jack-up mobile robot for narrow spaces (2004, 3 citations) further showcases his versatility. With cumulative citations across these studies, Tanaka’s research has significantly impacted precision robotics and manufacturing.
