NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Masahiro "Hiro" Ono has been a Research Technologist at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory since 2013. He also serves as a technical advisor for the Space Innovation Fund run by Sparx Group. His broad interest is centered around the application of autonomy for space missions, with an emphasis on enhancing the safety, efficiency, and performance of robotic mobility though the applications of risk-aware decision making and machine learning. Before joining JPL, Hiro was an assistant professor at Keio University in Japan. He graduated from MIT in 2012 with a PhD in Aeronautics and Astronautics and an MS in Technology and Policy. At JPL he has led a number of research projects, including three NIAC studies on Enceladus Vent Explorer (Phase I and II) and Comet Hitchhiker (Phase I), a strategic R&TD on machine learning-based analytics for automated rover systems (MAARS), an ONR-funded research on risk-aware, human-cooperative autonomy, and a JPL-Caltech joint project on imitation learning-based planning. Hiro was a flight software developer of M2020’s Enhanced AutoNav and the lead of M2020 Landing Site Traversability Analysis. He also led the development of a machine learning-based Martian terrain classifier, SPOC (Soil Property and Object Classification), which was delivered to MSL OPGS and won JPL's Software of the Year Award in 2020. Outside of JPL, Hiro is the father of a 4-year-old princess, a backpacker who has visited 30+ countries, an acoustic guitarist who is only allowed to play Disney songs these days, an amateur astronomer armed with a 6-inch reflector, and the author of three books for the general readers.
