Ongoing projects

Human-Friendly joint for service robots

A 3 DoF joint that can be implemented in most of the current humanoid robots. Also useful for inspection and rescue robots. Patented and looking for an opportunity to develop it.
Online patent information (JP7562124B2).

Single-Carrier Compound Gearbox (SCCG)

A hollow gearbox design for robotics that can be designed for a wide range of reduction ratios (even more than 200.000:1 with only 8 gears) while offering a more compact design than other gearboxes. Patented and looking for an opportunity to develop it.
Online patent information (JP2023063066A).

Dossier for ICRA2025 with extra information about the Human-friendly joints and the Single-carrier Compound Gearbox.

Snake arm for inspection

A mechanical design of a hyper-redundant snake arm for inspection, based on the Human-Friendly Joint and Gearbox designs. Not patentable, but looking for an opportunity to develop it.

Inspection and rescue tool

This is my most cherished concept, sparked by a stray particle of inspiration that struck me in 2016 and has been quietly evolving in my mind ever since, waiting for the right moment to come into the world. It will redefine what's possible in inspection and rescue robotics, with unpredictable echoes across domotics and beyond.

Small designs

Not all ideas have to shake the world, some just rattle the desk. In my daily life, ideas often come to me and I enjoy making conceptual designs, ranging from foldable bikes to transforming furniture. These small, spontaneous concepts keep my mind sharp and my hands busy, and sometimes, they grow into something bigger than expected.
