Mr. Satoshi Iobe, a member of our laboratory, has developed a vibrating robot that can move forward, turn to the right, turn to the left, and make various other movements with only one motor. The research results were published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters, a prominent journal in the field of robotics!

The impact factor of this English-language scientific journal is 3.74 (2020), and it is difficult to be adopted as a prominent journal in the field of robotics, but Mr. Iyobe has successfully won acceptance. Crackle!
