About
Hiromu Onda is a robotics researcher whose work centers on automating complex assembly and manipulation tasks, with a particular focus on pick-and-place operations, regrasp planning, and snap assembly. His major contributions include the development of a shape-adaptive gripper for robotic assembly, which has garnered 42 citations, and a regrasp planning component for object reorientation (40 citations). Onda’s object placement planner, validated in 2014, automatically determines stable poses for grasped objects, enabling more reliable pick-and-place tasks. He has also advanced assembly motion teaching systems using position/force simulators and virtual reality, allowing robots to learn from human demonstrations. Notably, Onda has pioneered work in snap-sensing and failure characterization for cantilever snap assemblies, developing hierarchical taxonomies to help robots detect and correct errors during assembly. His research on base position planning for dual-arm mobile manipulators further optimizes task sequences in industrial settings. With over 267 total citations across his top papers, Onda’s work bridges perception, planning, and control, making him a key figure in the push toward more autonomous and adaptable robotic assembly systems.
