I joined the company at a quite early stage thus I was involved in the development of various types of systems and architecture as our business expanded.

What I mainly worked on are:

# Indoor security robots

• The UAV's dynamic obstacle avoidance based on Artificial Potential Field generated by point clouds.
• Integration of the measurement sensors into our navigation system, due to this, I also experimented with the sensors and then worked on their software drivers.
• The landmark-based 3DoF pose estimator for the differential drive robot.
• The planer navigation system that included the mapping dedicated to the Ackermann steering car.
• The instruction GUI allowing for control of certain points that have to be traversed.

Development environment: FreeRTOS, OpenEmbedded, Linux, Git, C++11, Python, CMake, ROS, PCL, Qt, JTAG, GDB

# Outdoor drone

• Integration of the embedded radio communication device to the outdoor drone.
• The path planners which enable the robot to avoid no-fly zones or automatically create coverage path in a region of interest.
• The cloud's backend system that connects the drone and the user requests coming from the browser UI.

Development environment: FreeRTOS, OpenEmbedded, Linux, Git, C++11, Python, CMake, ROS, CGAL, Django, RESTful API, GRPC, PostgreSQL, JTAG, GDB

# Logistics cooperative robots

This project was different from the other projects I served ever. To launch a new project completely from scratch, I worked together with the business team for market research and then led the product development. I developed the navigation system as well as the user interface for the multi-agent system that solves the optimization problem in a combination of human and mobile robots.

Development environment: Linux, Git, C++11, Python, CMake, ROS, Qt, JTAG, GDB

I led the team members and developed the mobile robot that solved the task given by the field robotics competition named Tsukuba Challenge. In the challenge, our robot traveled 1.43 km in an outdoor environment.

Development environment: Linux, C++, Python, Git, CMake, ROS, OpenCV, Bash, GDB

Open Source is available here. https://github.com/open-rdc/orne_navigation

• Project ORNE

I launched the Japanese roboticist organization that holds meetup events regularly and made it around 100 people scale. Moreover, I managed the collaboration with a couple of companies to make sure that we enjoy the content at the events.

I steered the RoboCup team that developed fully autonomous soccer robots in the Humanoid League.

I contributed a lot to the development of navigation, autonomous cooperative decision making as well as various types of base infrastructures like communication, simulation compatible with the real robot, Linux migration, debugging tools, and so on.

Development environment: Linux, C++, Python, Git, CMake, OpenCV, Qt, SWIG, V-REP, ZeroC Ice, GDB

I helped the development of the manipulator robot called Nextage.

Development environment: Linux, C++, Python, ROS, GDB

• start-jsk

I developed and successfully delivered the meter automatic reading system for agricultural use.

Development environment: Linux, C++, CMake, GDB, OpenCV

• Hataraku Nikki Project

I developed an educational embedded board.

The functionalities are:

• DC motors control
• Send serial messages through XBee
• Print arbitrary text messages on LCD
• AD converter for three different sensors
• Control Servo motor's angle
• IMU support through I2C interface

I developed 90 cm tall humanoid robots that can autonomously and cooperatively play soccer.

Development environment: Windows, C++, Python, CMake, OpenCV

Contributed significantly to the industry and accomplished excellent research.

The highest Award in Chiba Institute of Technology.

Award for the person who accomplished tremendous achievements for the Chiba Institute of Technology.

Excellent research results at Advanced Robotics Dept.

Award for the team that reached the top at three classes in the humanoid robot league as the highest honor in RoboCup.

Since 2002, Louis Vuitton has sponsored the “Louis Vuitton Humanoid Cup” for RoboCup, an international research and educational initiative for artificial intelligence and robotics with a focus on soccer-playing robots. The Humanoid League was added to the RoboCupSoccer event in 2002. Louis Vuitton has created a championship trophy for this program in order to, by aiming to promote development of robots capable of competing against a human team by the year 2050, encourage technological innovation.

As the CITBrains, we won the first place in humanoid league kid size class in Robocup 2014, Brazil, the international robot soccer competition
