About

Gouki Iwamoto is a robotics researcher based in Japan, whose work bridges the gap between intelligent robotic systems and energy-efficient hardware design. He is a key member of the Hibikino-Musashi@Home team, founded in 2010 at the Kitakyushu Science and Research Park. Iwamoto’s primary research areas include domestic service robotics, RoboCup@Home competitions, and neuromorphic or analog VLSI computing for robotic intelligence. His most cited work, the *Hibikino-Musashi@Home 2017 Team Description Paper* (15 citations), details the team’s ongoing participation in the RoboCup@Home Japan open-platform league, highlighting their collaborative approach with 24 members from seven institutions. A standout contribution is his live demonstration of a VLSI chip implementing a time-domain analog weighted-sum calculation model, fabricated using 250-nm CMOS technology (7 citations). This chip, based on the “Time-domain Analog Computing with Transient states (TACT)” approach, achieves very high energy efficiency for intelligent processing on robots. Iwamoto’s work is notable for advancing low-power, real-time computation in robotics, making him a rising figure in the intersection of hardware acceleration and autonomous systems.
