Erik Sjoberg

I’m originally from Seattle, WA, and studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Washington and Robotic Systems Development at Carnegie Mellon Univeristy. I’ve worked in inkjet print systems R&D at Hewlett-Packard and was the first engineer at the startup Ascent Robotics here in Tokyo. My deepest expertise is with applied machine learning, and I have a broad background in control, perception, and general robotics systems R&D.

MESSAGE

The challenge of automating real-world construction equipment is interesting and I’m looking forward to having the chance to work with a variety of different projects and machinery.

PERSONAL

I particularly enjoy taking advantage of the natural beauty of Japan by taking short bike trips to scenic locations. It's surprisingly easy to travel by train with a bike, and onsen baths feel great after a day in the saddle.
I also enjoy spending time playing video games and reading Japanese books and manga, which is a fun way to keep improving my Japanese language skills. It's hard to beat relaxing with a book on the beach in Izu for a quick weekend trip away from Tokyo!
