About
Tasuku Makabe is a pioneering roboticist whose work pushes the boundaries of humanoid robotics through multimodal locomotion and biomimetic design. His research centers on creating humanoid robots that can walk, fly, and drive—a vision of truly versatile machines. Makabe's most impactful contribution is the development of the TABLIS system, a bilateral teleoperation platform using a whole-body exoskeleton cockpit that enables intuitive control of humanoid robots while maintaining bipedal stability, earning 56 citations. He has also designed a flying humanoid robot with a bi-copter flight unit (21 citations) and a five-fingered hand combining machined springs and variable stiffness joints for powerful grasping (19 citations). His work on a small humanoid equipped with both flight units and wheels for rapid terrestrial and aerial locomotion (16 citations) exemplifies his drive for practical, all-terrain robots. Makabe has also contributed to autonomous driving using musculoskeletal humanoids and developed a transformer platform that can reshape itself for different tasks. With over 150 total citations, his innovative hardware designs and control strategies are shaping the future of adaptable, real-world humanoid robots.
