About
Yuki Ikegaya is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the precision control of robot manipulators, with a particular focus on the innovative use of ultrasonic motors. His key contributions lie in developing advanced control strategies that overcome the unique challenges posed by these motors, such as their nonlinear behavior and the need for fine rotational speed regulation. In his most-cited work, "Position control of robot manipulators with ultrasonic motors using pulse width modulation" (2002), Ikegaya proposed a novel approach that integrates fuzzy logic control with a pulse width modulation (PWM) technique. By dynamically adjusting the duty ratio of the motor’s forward direction duration, his method achieves stable and accurate position control, a significant advancement for robotic systems requiring high torque at low speeds without conventional gearing. Though his citation count is modest, this foundational paper has been cited 7 times, reflecting its niche but meaningful impact on the field of actuator control. Ikegaya’s research demonstrates a practical, experimental rigor, offering a viable pathway for integrating ultrasonic motors into real-world robotic applications.
