About
Yuki Nagatsu is a robotics and control systems researcher whose work bridges the critical gap between human dexterity and robotic capability. Specializing in bilateral and multilateral teleoperation, haptic feedback control, and motion sensing technologies, Nagatsu has made significant contributions to enabling robots to replicate skilled human techniques — a challenge of growing urgency in aging, labor-scarce societies. Nagatsu's most influential work, "Bilateral Control by Transmitting Force Information" (2021, 18 citations), introduces a framework for reproducing human motion with force feedback in time-delayed systems, directly addressing workforce shortages through advanced robot substitution. Complementing this, their research on acceleration-based disturbance observers (2020, 13 citations) advances hybrid control of redundant robotic systems, improving decoupling and operational precision. Beyond teleoperation, Nagatsu has pioneered novel magnetic absolute encoder designs using eccentric structures and neural networks, achieving ultra-high resolution position sensing for compact, high-accuracy servo motors — vital for medical and industrial robotics. Their work on simultaneous thermal and tactile sensation transmission further pushes the frontier of immersive teleoperation. With over 75 cumulative citations, Nagatsu's research offers practical pathways toward safer, more intuitive human-robot interaction across industrial, medical, and remote environments.
