Senior🎓
Top SchoolTaro Takahashi is a robotics-focused project manager and researcher with over a decade of experience bridging academic innovation and industrial product development in humanoid robotics. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Yokohama National University and has led core research and development at Sony, Toyota, and Toyota Research Institute on bipedal walking, whole-body control, bilateral remote control, and tactile-driven manipulation. His work spans hardware-software integration—from force/torque control and vibration suppression to machine learning for manipulation and imitation learning—contributing to robots like QRIO and T-HR3. Known for collaborating across diverse, high-skill teams and partnering with component manufacturers and academia, he blends deep control-theory expertise with practical system delivery. Based in Tokyo, he combines hands-on engineering instincts with strategic project leadership, often tackling the messy real-world challenges of deformable and sticky-object manipulation that many teams avoid.
