About
Takamasa Kusano is a researcher specializing in robotic machining systems, with a focus on developing accessible CAD/CAM interfaces for industrial robots. His work centers on post-processor development, data interpolation, and the creation of streamlined programming methods that eliminate the need for conventional, time-consuming teaching processes. Kusano’s major contributions include the design of post-processors for the FANUC R2000iC robot, enabling the direct conversion of cutter location source (CLS) data into robotic programs. He has also advanced interpolation techniques, using spline curves to smooth CLS data for more precise machining, and developed a preprocessor that converts stereolithography data into usable CLS data. His research has practical applications, such as a robotic CAM system for machining foamed polystyrene, and an outline font handler for multiple robot types. While his citation counts are modest—his most cited paper has 6 citations—his work represents a consistent effort to lower the barrier for robot programming, making industrial robotics more accessible to operators without specialized language skills.
