Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYusuke Urakami is a senior machine learning researcher and full-stack roboticist based in Tokyo with nine years building real-world autonomy, from maglev train control to high-dexterity manipulation systems. He combines mechanical design and hardware prototyping (CAD, 3D printing, CNC) with ROS/C++ systems and modern ML stacks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, RL, MuJoCo) to deliver sim-to-real solutions and tooling. At SonyAI and Sony Interactive Entertainment he focuses on ML tooling and dexterous robotics, having previously led RL training platform work with UC Berkeley and sim-to-real pipelines at RoboEye.ai. He’s comfortable across control, perception, and project leadership—able to tune low-level controllers for rail systems and architect end-to-end pick-and-place simulators—and he often bridges lab research and production through CI/CD and calibration improvements.
