Tatsuya Kamijo
I'm an incoming CS PhD student at
NYU Courant
(Fall 2026), where I'll be advised by Prof.
Sherry Yang.
I'm passionate about building intelligent robotic systems that achieve human-level dexterity and adaptability. My current focus is on scaling robot learning beyond teleoperated real-world demonstrations, exploring both the data sources (e.g., human videos) and the learning methods (e.g., world models) that can leverage them. Previously, my research focused on giving robots the ability to physically interact with the environment by leveraging compliance (software and hardware) and tactile sensing. |
