About me
Thank you for visiting my personal website, where I share my academic journey, projects, and interests.
I am Akiyoshi Uchida, a Master’s student in the Space Robotics Lab (SRL) at Tohoku University, Japan. My research focuses on dynamics modeling, identification, and control of free-floating space robots, with applications to on-orbit servicing. I completed a 10-month research internship at the SpaceR, University of Luxembourg, where I developed a floating platform and conducted both simulation and ground experiments on robotic motion in microgravity environments. I am particularly interested in advanced control, dynamics, and machine learning approaches for space robotics, aiming to contribute to future on-orbit servicing and debris removal missions.
