About
Ryosuke Tasaki is a robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of medical robotics, autonomous mobile systems, and human-robot interaction. He is perhaps best known for leading the development of **Terapio**, a pioneering hospital round-support robot designed to accompany healthcare professionals during patient ward rounds, autonomously carrying medical supplies and recording electronic health data. First presented in 2014 and refined through subsequent publications, Terapio has garnered over 60 combined citations, reflecting its significance in service robotics for healthcare environments. A substantial portion of Tasaki's research addresses the challenge of indoor robot positioning, with notable contributions to WiFi RSS fingerprint database construction and wireless access point optimization — work that has collectively attracted over 55 citations and meaningfully advanced practical mobile robot navigation. His sensor fusion techniques for person-tracking, combining inertial measurement units and laser range finders, further demonstrate his commitment to robust real-world robot deployment. More recently, Tasaki has expanded into rehabilitation and assistive robotics, investigating massage robots capable of tracking human motion and controlling finger-pressing force, as well as imitation learning systems for flexible tool manipulation. Together, his body of work reflects a consistent drive to deploy intelligent robotic systems where they can tangibly reduce human workload and improve healthcare delivery.
