About
Haruki Kozuka is a leading researcher in aerial robotics, with a focus on bio-inspired design for multirotor systems. His work addresses the critical challenge of limited flight time in drones, which stems from the high power consumption required to hover against gravity. Kozuka’s most notable contribution is the development of an adaptive perching and grasping aerial robot, featuring a lightweight, high-grip-force, tendon-driven three-fingered hand that operates with a single actuator. This innovative design, detailed in his 2025 paper, enables drones to conserve energy by perching on structures, dramatically extending operational endurance for tasks like inspection and surveillance. Though early in its citation impact, the work has already garnered attention for its elegant mechanical simplicity and practical potential. Kozuka’s research bridges robotics, biomimicry, and energy efficiency, offering a transformative approach to aerial manipulation. His achievements highlight a commitment to solving real-world constraints in drone technology, making him a rising figure in the field.
