About

Yuichi Mori is a pioneering roboticist whose research spans humanoid assistive robotics, biologically inspired locomotion, and human–robot interaction. His most influential work centers on developing autonomous daily assistive behaviors for humanoid robots, exemplified by the HRP2JSK platform, where he integrated task-guided attention control and visual verification to enable complex actions like tea serving—a paper that has garnered 18 citations. Mori has also advanced vision-based manipulator trajectory generation for tasks such as object sorting and retrieval, contributing to the practical deployment of assistive robots. Beyond humanoids, he has explored biological system models that replicate snakes’ musculoskeletal structure, aiming to unlock novel locomotion patterns. His impact extends to assistive technology with ABLE, a standing-style transfer system for individuals with lower-limb disabilities, and to humanitarian robotics through the conceptual design of an excavation-type demining robot. Mori’s work on emotional models for partner robots and emergent behavior-based sensor fusion further demonstrates his breadth in creating robots that perceive, adapt, and assist. With a career marked by innovation across assistive, bio-inspired, and safety-critical robotics, Mori continues to shape how robots can seamlessly integrate into daily human life.
