About

Hiroshi Iwasawa is a researcher focused on the safety and resilience of cyber-physical systems, with key contributions in industrial control system security, dependable connectivity, and advanced sensing for autonomous robotics. His work addresses critical challenges in ensuring safe operations under cyberattacks, particularly through the development of resilient fallback control systems. In his most cited paper (11 citations), Iwasawa introduced a model verification approach using UPPAAL for fallback control systems under cyberattacks, proposing a resilient third-party monitoring system built with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to maintain safe ICS operation. He also pioneered a 3-D attitude measurement method using spread spectrum modulated ultrasonic waves (6 citations), advancing navigation for autonomous robots. More recently, Iwasawa explored dependable connectivity for cyber-physical-human systems in open fields (4 citations), addressing the integration of autonomous machines like collaborative robots into human work environments. His research bridges critical infrastructure protection, real-world sensing, and human-machine collaboration, making significant contributions to the dependability of modern automated systems.
