About

Naoto Miyamoto is a leading researcher in construction robotics and autonomous heavy machinery, with a focus on automating earthmoving and site monitoring. His work centers on developing retrofitted robotic systems for large-scale dump trucks, enabling autonomous driving and precise path planning for tasks like loading and leaving sediment. Miyamoto’s key contributions include pioneering the use of retrofitted robots to control six-wheeled dump trucks, demonstrated in his most-cited paper, “Autonomous Driving of Six-Wheeled Dump Truck with a Retrofitted Robot” (2021, 30 citations). He also advanced semantic mapping of construction sites by integrating multiple daily airborne LiDAR data, creating high-level environmental knowledge for robots to interact with dynamic surroundings (2021, 14 citations). His research on path planning for turning back maneuvers during backhoe work (2022, 4 citations) addresses urgent industry needs for automation. With a growing citation impact, Miyamoto’s work is notable for bridging robotics and construction, offering practical solutions to enhance safety and efficiency on job sites. His achievements highlight a commitment to transforming traditional earthmoving through innovative, retrofitted automation.
