About
Kurihara’s research focuses on intelligent mobile robotics, with key contributions in sensor-based navigation and multi-robot coordination. Their most cited work, “Development of a Kinect-sensor-based navigation component for JAUS compliant mobile robots” (2012, 3 citations), pioneered the integration of low-cost depth sensors into standardized robotic architectures, enabling more accessible and robust autonomous navigation. This work laid groundwork for cost-effective perception in field robotics. Kurihara also advanced formation control through “A study of RSSI-based formation control algorithm for multiple mobile robots” (2010, 2 citations), which demonstrated how received signal strength indicators could be leveraged for decentralized coordination without expensive localization hardware. While citation counts are modest, these contributions are notable for their practical approach to solving real-world deployment challenges—particularly in resource-constrained environments. Kurihara’s research bridges the gap between theoretical multi-robot systems and implementable solutions, making their work valuable for students and engineers developing accessible robotic platforms. Their focus on interoperability standards (JAUS) and low-cost sensing reflects a commitment to democratizing robotics technology.
