About
Tomohiro Ueki is a roboticist whose work centers on intelligent manipulation and flexible manufacturing, with a particular focus on dual-arm robotic systems for sheet metal bending. His research addresses the critical challenge of regrasp motion planning—the complex choreography of repositioning a workpiece mid-task to achieve complex geometries without human intervention. In his most cited work, "Regrasp Motion Planning for Sheet Metal Bending by a Dual-Arm Robot" (2012, 4 citations), Ueki proposed a novel planning method that enables a dual-arm robot to autonomously determine how to transfer and reorient a sheet metal part between bends. This contribution is foundational for realizing truly flexible, automated bending cells in the sheet metal industry, where dual-arm systems are seen as a promising alternative to traditional, rigid tooling. While his citation count remains modest, his work is technically significant for researchers in robotic manipulation and manufacturing automation, offering a practical path toward more adaptable and efficient production lines.
