Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTetsunari Inamura is a professor and robotics researcher based in Tokyo with over two decades of experience bridging cognitive robotics, human–robot interaction, and learning-from-demonstration. He pioneered SIGVerse, a widely used open platform for HRI simulation with over 5,000 global uses, and has driven simulation efforts for RoboCup@Home for more than a decade while chairing its Japanese committee. His career spans roles at the University of Tokyo, the National Institute of Informatics, and now Tamagawa University, where he leads advanced intelligence and robotics research. An editor and committee leader across IEEE and major robotics journals, he blends theoretical work on symbol emergence with practical systems for assistive and affective robots. Less obvious: he combines long-term institutional leadership (Vice President and Fellow of the Robotics Society of Japan) with hands-on tool building that directly shapes experimental benchmarks and competitions.
