About
Satoru Tokutsu is a pioneering researcher in humanoid robotics, specializing in knowledge-based vision systems and task-relevant integration for daily assistive robots. His work centers on enabling humanoids to perceive, recognize, and act in real-world environments through multi-sensor fusion—combining vision, force, and audio inputs. Tokutsu’s most influential contribution is the multi-cue 3D object recognition subsystem for knowledge-based humanoid robots (43 citations), which laid the groundwork for robust object handling in service tasks. He further advanced the field with the development of HRP-2W, a humanoid platform designed for support behavior research in daily life environments (29 citations). His notable achievements include demonstrating tea-serving behavior on the HRP2JSK humanoid, where he integrated task-guided attention control and visual verification (18 citations), and realizing trash separation of bottles and cans using eyes, hands, and ears (10 citations). Tokutsu’s research emphasizes the critical role of task-relevant knowledge in bridging recognition and action, as seen in his work on integrating recognition and action through knowledge-based systems (7 citations). His contributions have significantly advanced the autonomy and practical applicability of humanoid robots in domestic settings, inspiring further research in sensor-driven, context-aware robotic assistance.
