About

Kosuke Aramaki is a researcher whose work bridges robotics, human perception, and design, with a particular focus on therapeutic applications and Kansei Engineering—a field that translates human feelings and impressions into product design. His most-cited paper (2004, 2 citations) stands as a foundational contribution to understanding how therapeutic robots are conceptualized and communicated. In this work, Aramaki applied statistical analysis to websites related to therapeutic robotics, identifying key keywords and concepts that shape public and professional discourse in this emerging field. By using Kansei Engineering methodology, he demonstrated how emotional and sensory responses can be systematically analyzed to inform robot design, making his research valuable for developers seeking to create machines that are not only functional but also emotionally resonant. While his citation count is modest, the paper’s focus on the intersection of human affect and robotics highlights a niche but important contribution to human-robot interaction. Aramaki’s work offers a unique lens for students and researchers interested in how design language and user perception influence the development of therapeutic technologies.
