Biography

H. Harry Asada (Member, IEEE) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, in 1973, 1975, and 1979, respectively, all in precision engineering.
He is currently the Ford Professor of mechanical engineering and the Director with the Brit and Alex d'Arbeloff Laboratory for Information Systems and Technology, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA. His research in the bio area focuses on bio integrated robots, where live cells and tissues are used as components. He specializes in robotics, biological engineering, and system dynamics and control. His robotics research interests include wearable robots, cellular PZT actuators, and robot applications to aircraft manufacturing and nuclear power plant monitoring.
Dr. Asada was recipient of best paper awards at the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation in 1993, 1997, 1999, and 2010, the O. Hugo Schuck Best Paper Award from the American Control Council in 1985, best journal paper awards from the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers in 1979, 1984, and 1990, and the Best Journal Paper Award from Journal of Advanced Robotics in 2002, Henry Paynter Outstanding Researcher Award from ASME Dynamic Systems and Control in 1998. More recently, he received the 2011 Rufus Oldenburger Medal from ASME and the Ruth and Joel Spira Award for Distinguished Teaching from the School of Engineering, MIT. He is also a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
