About
Yo Shigemori is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the safe and practical deployment of humanoid robots in human environments, with a particular focus on real-time control and physical human-robot interaction. His key contribution lies in developing control strategies that enable humanoid robots to maintain stability and safety when external forces—such as pushes or contact from humans—are applied to the upper body. This is critical for service robots operating in unstructured, human-populated spaces, especially in aging societies where robotic assistance is increasingly in demand. While his most-cited paper, "Real-Time Control of Humanoid Robots Considering External Forces on Upper Part of the Body" (2010), has accumulated 2 citations, it represents foundational thinking in a niche but growing field. Shigemori’s work addresses the core challenge of making humanoid robots robust enough for real-world service tasks, bridging the gap between laboratory prototypes and practical, everyday assistants. His research is particularly relevant for students and engineers interested in humanoid locomotion, balance control, and the integration of force-based feedback into real-time robotic systems.
