About

Yusuke Mizoguchi is a robotics researcher specializing in autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and domestic service robotics. His work bridges the gap between competitive robotics challenges and practical, open-source solutions for human support systems. As a core member of the Kyutech Underwater Robotics team, Mizoguchi developed the AUV "KYUBIC," an image-based navigation system designed for the international RoboSub competition. This system enables small-size robots to autonomously complete complex underwater tasks through built-in image processing, demonstrating robust real-world performance in dynamic environments. His contributions to the Hibikino-Musashi@Home team further showcase his versatility, where he developed a dataset generator for training robot vision systems and created an open-source development environment for domestic standard platform leagues. While his most-cited papers currently hold 2 citations each, Mizoguchi’s impact lies in his hands-on engineering and commitment to accessible robotics—providing tools and frameworks that empower other researchers and students to advance autonomous navigation and human-robot interaction. His work exemplifies how competition-driven innovation can yield practical, reusable technologies for the broader robotics community.
