Profile He received the B.E., M.E., and Ph.D. degrees from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan, in 1992, 1994, and 1997. In 1997, he joined the Musashi Institute of Technology as a Research Associate, where he is currently serving as a Professor at Tokyo City University. He was a visiting researcher with the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, Boston University, Boston, MA, from April 2000 to March 2001. His research covers both theory and application. He has worked on model predictive control (MPC), moving horizon estimation, open-loop oscillatory stabilization of nonlinear systems, sliding mode control. He has applied these theories to various vehicles, for example, automobiles, mobile robots, drones, electric wheelchairs, and rovers.
Research Field(Keyword & Summary)
  1. (1) Model predictive control

    Model predictive control is an optimal control technique which can deal with physical constraints. He has worked on various kind of systems like automobiles, drones, wheelchairs and rovers.

  2. (2) Self-driving systems

    Self-driving system is one of the hot research topic in recent years. Cooperating with automobile companies, he has applied advanced control techniques to vehicle control. He has also working on autonomous control of electric wheelchair.

  3. (3) Moving horizon estimation

    Moving horizon estimation is a powerful stochastic optimal filter which can deal with both nonlinearity and constraints. He applied it to vehicle state estimation and simultaneous localization and mappiing (SLAM).
