About
Minoru Sasaki is a versatile robotics and biomedical engineering researcher whose work spans human-robot interaction, biped locomotion, biosignal-based control systems, and advanced materials for soft robotics. His most influential contribution lies in developing intuitive control frameworks for robotic systems using biological signals, including electrooculography (EOG) and electromyography (EMG). Sasaki pioneered rotation matrix and affine transform methods to translate eye movements and gaze motions into precise robot manipulator commands, work that has garnered nearly 40 combined citations and holds significant promise for assistive technologies. His research on mapping EMG signals from human elbow and shoulder movements to multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arms demonstrates a commitment to minimizing complexity while maximizing functionality in human-robot cooperation. Sasaki has also made notable contributions to biped robot balance control, including ZMP feedback strategies for lateral stepping, and to smart materials, developing conductive CNT/PDMS composites for flexible electronics and investigating IPMC actuators for miniature biomedical devices. With over 170 citations across his top works, Sasaki's research consistently bridges fundamental engineering principles with practical applications in rehabilitation robotics, wearable technology, and intelligent autonomous systems.
