Takuya Umedachi Ph.D. is a soft-roboticist inspired by primitive living organisms such as amoeba and caterpillars. His research focuses on decentralized control (i.e., bio-inspired controller) and self-formation of soft-bodied animals, which are modeled and verified by developing robotic testbeds with digital fabrication (including 3D printing and printed electronics). He received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Communication Engineering from Tohoku University, in 2009.
2008 - 2010: He was a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (DC2) in the same lab.
2010 - 2011: He was a Research Fellow of the CREST, Japan Science, and Technology under Prof. Ishiguro.
2011 - 2012: He has been a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (PD), worked in the Department of Mathematical and Life Sciences, Hiroshima University
2012 - 2016: He worked in the Department of Biology, Tufts University under Prof. Barry A. Trimmer, the chief editor of J. of Softrobotics.
2016 - 2019: He is a project lecturer at the Graduate School of Information Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo.
2019 - Now: He is currently an associate professor at the Faculty of Textile Science and Technology, Shinshu University.
