I was able to obtain parameters that more closely resemble the human body via direct teachings from people, realizing motions that consider environmental information using two deep neural networks.<\/p>\n<h4>Problems<\/h4>\n<p>Due to my short tenure (two months), it was difficult to set up the experimental environment and analyze the results. Consequently, many tasks were not finished.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>My experience abroad<\/h3>\n<p>As this was my first time studying abroad, everything was unfamiliar. Luckily, my host family was very kind and made me feel welcome. The language barrier was initially a huge obstacle. However, I took the opportunity to have lunch with other members of the laboratory, and eventually became comfortable enough to chat with them. Although I had trouble communicating, especially in the beginning, the people I encountered knew that the Japanese people tend not to talk much outside Japan. This experience reinforced the importance of English, which would be difficult to notice in Japan. If possible, I hope to have the opportunity to revisit someday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2109\" src=\"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/assets\/uploads\/2022\/12\/photo_k-suzuki-tum.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"424\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Influence on my future career<\/h3>\n<p>I was impressed by the large number of excellent students in the laboratory where I studied, and was inspired by the diverse research programs compared to my laboratory in Japan. I also had the chance to talk with Japanese researchers. Thanks to the people I encountered as well as my insightful discussions with Japanese researchers, I am seriously considering continuing my studies in the doctoral program. Regardless of my path, I hope to work abroad in the future.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Other comments<\/h3>\n<p>Although I had limited time for sightseeing, I participated in Oktoberfest, which was a unique experience that I will never forget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Visiting period:<\/b><br \/>July to September 2015<br \/><b>Visiting university:<\/b><br \/>Technical University of Munich<br \/><b>Visiting country and region:<\/b><br \/>Munich, Germany<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2110,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[117],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-study-abroad-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3407"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4091,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3407\/revisions\/4091"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/fsci\/ict-robotics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
