About
Yoichi Hori is a pioneering researcher whose work spans electric vehicle control, wireless power transfer, and biomechanically inspired robotics — fields where his contributions have fundamentally advanced both theory and practical application. His early and influential work on electric vehicles demonstrated that motor-driven systems offer exceptional advantages for anti-skid and motion control, exploiting the fast, precise torque response unavailable in conventional combustion or hydraulic systems. This research, accumulating 58 citations, laid important groundwork for modern EV dynamics control. Hori has made equally significant contributions to wireless power transfer, developing impedance matching frameworks and novel band-pass filter models for multi-receiver magnetic resonance coupling systems — work that collectively exceeds 170 citations and directly addresses real-world challenges like charging moving vehicles and robots. His robotics research is distinguished by a biologically inspired approach: drawing on human musculoskeletal architecture, he pioneered biarticular actuator designs and force-sensor-less power-assist control, enabling more capable, efficient, and human-friendly manipulators. His two-degree-of-freedom control frameworks, developed across nearly three decades, reflect a sustained commitment to robust, practical servo systems. With over 500 combined citations across his most impactful papers, Hori's interdisciplinary research continues to shape the future of intelligent electromechanical systems.
