About
Yuki Omori is a robotics researcher whose work centers on the critical challenge of enabling bipedal and humanoid robots to achieve dynamic, safe, and autonomous locomotion in complex, unstructured environments. His primary research areas include bipedal walking control, footstep planning under disturbance, and the integration of vision systems for robot navigation. Omori’s most significant contribution is his work on footstep modification, where he developed methods that allow a robot to adjust both step timing and angular momentum in response to large disturbances, all while respecting sparse foothold constraints—a key requirement for real-world balance recovery. This work, published in 2020, has garnered 22 citations, reflecting its relevance in the field of dynamic locomotion. Additionally, Omori has advanced humanoid perception by proposing a novel vision design using dual depth cameras for improved object detection, localization, and mapping in indoor settings. He has also contributed to autonomous safe locomotion systems that combine visual information with sole reaction force data for robust footstep planning. Through these efforts, Yuki Omori is helping to bridge the gap between theoretical control and practical, vision-guided walking for humanoid robots operating in challenging, disaster-response scenarios.
