Research Motai's papers address fundamental and applied problems of sensory intelligence, which relate to specific application domains such as medical imaging, pattern recognition, computer vision, sensory-based robotic and biomedical applications. The majority of his 39 papers were published in IEEE Transactions, in 1) sensory Intelligence, focused on 2) adaptive prediction and 3) online classification methodologies: Sensory Intelligence: Fundamentals of robotic vision and data-intensive computing. Adaptive Prediction: Kalman filter bank, Optimized prediction, Time sequences signals. Online Classification: Kernel feature analysis, Neural networks, Deep learning. Radiology: Computer-Aided Diagnosis, Distributed Database Network, Virtual colonoscopy. Specific applications such as Radiation Oncology and Radiology were chosen based on his collaborator's expertise.

Teaching Motai has offered more than 10 different courses. The 4 fields he teaches in are Pattern Recognition, Automatic Control, Dynamic and Multivariable Systems, Signals and Systems I

Motai also taught at the University of Vermont, offering classes in the fields of Sensory-based robotics, Computer vision, and Ubiquitous computing.

Personal life Motai has two children, Yamato and Yurika.
