About

Yoshihiro Sakamoto is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work spans indoor positioning and localization systems, robotics actuation, and minimally invasive surgical techniques. His most significant contributions lie in the development of high-accuracy indoor positioning technologies for mobile robots, particularly leveraging GPS-pseudolite systems, Indoor Messaging System (IMES) radio, and carrier-phase methods such as real-time kinematic (RTK) Doppler positioning. His foundational 2008 work on multi-channel pseudolite-based indoor GPS helped lay groundwork for structured environments enabling seamless human-robot integration, a thread he continued through innovations addressing cycle slip mitigation and dead reckoning integration. In robotics hardware, Sakamoto has contributed to safer and more responsive robot-environment interaction through research on series clutch actuators and friction-based adjustable torque limiters, addressing critical challenges in open-loop torque control and collision safety. More recently, his involvement in a 2021 global expert survey on minimally invasive anatomic liver resection demonstrates a notable breadth extending into surgical science. With cumulative citations across diverse engineering and medical domains, Sakamoto exemplifies the kind of cross-disciplinary researcher whose technically rigorous work meaningfully advances both autonomous robotics and clinical practice.
