About
Makoto Morito is a researcher advancing the field of soft robotics, with a particular focus on pneumatic artificial muscles and their control systems. His work centers on developing innovative, flexible robotic components that mimic biological movement, aiming to create safer and more adaptable machines for human interaction. In his most-cited paper, "The development of angle control system of pneumatic artificial muscle with AprilTag" (2024), Morito introduces a novel approach to precisely control the bending angle of silicon-based pneumatic artificial muscles. By integrating AprilTag—a type of augmented reality marker—he enables accurate, real-time angle measurement, a critical step toward building functional soft robot hands. This preliminary work lays the foundation for more dexterous and compliant robotic grippers, with potential applications in medical devices, assistive technology, and industrial automation. Though early in his career, Morito’s integration of computer vision with soft actuation demonstrates a promising interdisciplinary approach, contributing to the growing body of knowledge in soft robotics and human-robot interaction.
