About
Yuko Nakamori is a robotics researcher specializing in human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on developing robots capable of engaging in dynamic, real-world games with children. Her work centers on the critical challenge of enabling robots to perceive and track multiple human players in outdoor environments using laser range finders (LRFs). Nakamori's most significant contribution is a multiple player detection and tracking method that allows a robot to actively participate in games like "Darumasan-ga-koronda" (similar to "Red light, green light"). Her 2018 paper on this topic has garnered 14 citations, reflecting its relevance to the field of social robotics. She has also worked on enhancing person detection accuracy and determining player movement states to enable more natural gameplay. Nakamori's research addresses fundamental problems in real-time perception for interactive robots, including false positives and tracking stability in uncontrolled settings. Her work represents an important step toward creating robots that can seamlessly integrate into children's play activities, with potential applications in education, entertainment, and therapeutic robotics.
