About
Mitsuhiro Horade is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on legged inspection robots, human-robot interaction, and autonomous navigation in complex environments. His most significant contributions center on developing multi-limbed robots—such as the ASTERISK platform—capable of climbing, walking, and inspecting infrastructure in dangerous or confined spaces where humans cannot safely operate. His 2016 paper on a close-loop control method for an inspection robot using electropermanent-magnets (17 citations) introduced novel walking and adhesion strategies for vertical surfaces. Horade also advanced social robot navigation by integrating human intention analysis from face orientation and path prediction (15 citations, 2015), enabling robots to move more naturally alongside people. His work on tripod walking methods (12 citations, 2016) and hammering sound analysis for infrastructure inspection (6 citations, 2015) further demonstrates his impact on practical, real-world robotics. More recently, he has explored variable impedance control for human-robot collaboration (2022). With over 70 cumulative citations, Horade’s research bridges the gap between robust mechanical design and intelligent, human-aware control—making him a notable figure in field robotics and human-robot interaction.
