Kazuto Nakashima, PhD

I am an Associate Professor at Kyushu University, affiliated with the Department of Interdisciplinary Informatics and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. My current research is primarily based at the Human-Centered Robotics Lab, with some projects carried out in collaboration with the Real-World Informative Robotics Lab. I received my PhD from Kyushu University in 2020 under the supervision of Prof. Ryo Kurazume. My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision and robotics, with a particular focus on 3D scene understanding and human–robot interaction. For more information, please see my curriculum vitae, research, and publications.
