Brief introduction

Satoshi Makita
Understand manipulation mechanism by robots and humans 
Satoshi Makita received his BE, ME, and PhD degrees from Yokohama National University, Japan in 2005, 2007, 2010, respectively. He had worked at National Institute of Technology, Sasebo College from 2010 to 2020, and moved to Fukuoka Institute of Technology in 2020. His research interests are on robotic manipulation by robotic arm and hand, automation, and biomechanics of human hands.
