Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Stewart is a Senior Robotics Engineer with 12 years of experience building perception, control, and motor systems for real-world robots, currently developing home robots as part of Woven by Toyota’s Woven City project in Tokyo. His background spans industry and academia—from developing bin-picking grasp-pose algorithms and VTOL flight-control firmware to neuroscience-driven BCI research at RIKEN—giving him a rare blend of hands-on mechatronics, perception, and neural signal analysis. Fascinated by animal and human agility, he leverages reinforcement learning and motor-control insights to close the gap between biological and robotic movement. Tom holds a Master’s in Human–Computer Interaction from the University of Tsukuba and a First Class Honours degree in Mechatronics, reflecting deep multidisciplinary training that informs his pragmatic research-to-product approach.
