About

Ryusei Tomikawa is a robotics researcher whose work centers on automating retail operations through intelligent manipulation and perception systems. His primary research areas include dual-arm robotic work systems, instance segmentation, and pose estimation for real-world applications. Tomikawa’s most notable contribution is the development of a display and disposal work system for convenience stores using a dual-arm robot, a project that has garnered 12 citations for its practical approach to automating shelf-stocking and waste-handling tasks. This work addresses critical challenges in retail automation, where robots must operate safely and efficiently alongside human workers. Additionally, Tomikawa has advanced the field of pose estimation through his research on selective instance segmentation, which aims to reduce computational overhead while maintaining accuracy—a key requirement for enabling robots to move and react in real time. By tackling the limitations of conventional methods that suffer from excessive parameters, his work paves the way for more responsive and cost-effective robotic systems in dynamic environments. Tomikawa’s research sits at the intersection of computer vision and robotics, with clear implications for the future of automated retail.
