About
Mirai Hattori is a pioneering roboticist whose work bridges the gap between adaptive physical design and real-time dynamic control in humanoid robotics. His primary research areas include transformable robotic platforms, whole-body motion planning, and vision-based reactive control for high-speed tasks. Hattori’s most notable contribution is the development of a humanoid-vehicle transformer platform, which employs a plastic resin structure and distributed redundant sensors to enable complex contact state transitions—such as recovering from a fall or morphing into a vehicle form. This work, cited 12 times, addresses the critical challenge of making simulation-to-reality transfer more accurate for multi-modal robots. In parallel, Hattori has advanced real-time athletic performance in humanoids, as demonstrated by his 2020 paper on fast tennis swing motions. By integrating ball trajectory prediction with joint trajectory modification, he achieved a standalone system capable of reacting to visual input at high speeds—a feat cited 10 times. His research not only pushes the boundaries of mechanical versatility and computational agility but also lays foundational work for future robots that can seamlessly adapt their form and function in dynamic, unstructured environments.
