About

Takumi Tamamoto’s research bridges tangible programming, human-robot interaction, and educational robotics, with a focus on making technology more intuitive and engaging for learners. His most cited work, “Improvement of a Tangible Programming Tool for the Study of the Subroutine Concept” (2018, 6 citations), advances hands-on coding education by enabling novices to grasp abstract programming structures through physical interaction. In parallel, Tamamoto has pioneered presentation robot systems for classroom settings, as seen in his 2018 paper (6 citations) on a robot that interacts with large groups, and its 2019 follow-up (3 citations) that adapts robot behavior based on participant states. These contributions address a critical gap: scaling robot-mediated instruction from small groups to entire classrooms. His 2019 work on a mobile robot teleoperation system using leaky coaxial cable (3 citations) tackles real-world challenges in disaster response, ensuring reliable wireless communication in confined, debris-filled environments. With a total of 18 citations across his top papers, Tamamoto’s research demonstrates a consistent commitment to practical, user-centered robotics—whether in education or emergency scenarios—making his work valuable for students and researchers exploring interactive learning tools and resilient robotic systems.
