Naoya Muramatsu

Starting from astronomical research, I have been conducting research on biomechanics, robotics, machine learning, and so on.
Currently at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, as a PhD student, I am studying the Neuromechanics of the Cheetah
I am also a self-employee, working on software development and more.

P r o j e c t

RCJ Soccer 2014/2015

The robot plays a soccer game 2 to 2 fully automatically. Participated in the tournament in 2014 and 2015. In 2015, he won the 3rd place in the Hokushin Etsu block.

MITOU 2018

I have learned the movement of the robot in a short time and created a control program that allows us to walk even if it breaks down. By performing reinforcement learning step by step, the movement of the robot is learned in a realistic time.I have received MITOU Super Creator.

Biomechanics of Cheetah

I'm developing a cheetah-inspired robot using computer vision to study animal movements. This project is backed by industry leaders like Google, Microsoft, and MathWorks.
