About
Yoshito Nanjo is a robotics researcher whose work spans human-robot collaboration, networked robot systems, and robotic motion control. His most influential contributions center on enabling seamless cooperation between remote operators and on-site workers through intelligent robotic intermediaries. Most notably, Nanjo developed the SCOPE (Sight Collaboration by Projection Effect) system, a mobile robot equipped with both a camera and projector that allows remote specialists to visually guide on-site maintenance workers in real time — a concept that has attracted 37 citations and remains a landmark in remote-collaboration robotics. Building on this, he pioneered the Robot-Augmented Communication (RAC) and Robot-Supported Cooperative Work (RSCW) frameworks, advancing the idea of robots as active mediators in shared physical workspaces. Nanjo also contributed significantly to multi-robot network architectures, proposing open platforms that enable diverse robots to collaborate in daily-life support scenarios. Earlier in his career, he investigated iterative learning control algorithms for robotic manipulators, exploring forgetting factors to improve robustness against noise and dynamic fluctuations. His cumulative body of work, spanning over two decades, reflects a consistent vision of robots as collaborative partners that bridge distance, enhance communication, and amplify human capability in complex real-world tasks.
