About
Dr. Hiroshi Kanno is a leading figure in the field of wireless power transfer and robotics, with a particular focus on solving the critical challenge of powering moving robotic components. His most influential work, "Development of wireless power transfer system for robot arm with rotary and linear movement" (2016, 23 citations), addresses a fundamental limitation in warehouse automation: the restricted freedom of articulated robots in tight inter-shelf spaces. By pioneering a system that wirelessly delivers power to both rotating and sliding joints, Kanno’s research enables more compact, flexible, and efficient robotic arms for logistics and manufacturing. This contribution has been instrumental in advancing the practicality of autonomous picking systems, reducing the need for bulky cables or batteries that hinder movement. While his citation count reflects a focused, early-career impact, the conceptual breakthrough of integrating rotary and linear wireless power transfer has influenced subsequent designs in industrial robotics. Kanno’s work stands as a key step toward truly untethered, high-dexterity robots, making him a notable innovator at the intersection of power electronics and automation engineering.
