About
Shiho Oshiro is a pioneering researcher in underwater robotics and acoustic communication, with a focus on enabling wireless control in challenging subsea environments. Her key research areas include underwater acoustic networks, robot teleoperation, and OFDM-based communication systems. Oshiro’s major contribution is the development of the Underwater Small Area Acoustic Network (USAAN), a Time Division Duplex (TDD) system that uses 32 kHz bandwidth Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation to achieve bidirectional, low-latency communication. Her 2019 paper, “A Prototype Wireless Underwater Robot Control system using a 32 kHz Bandwidth Underwater Small Area Acoustic Network (USAAN),” demonstrates a working prototype where an underwater robot is wirelessly controlled via acoustic signals, a significant step toward untethered autonomous underwater vehicles. Although the paper has 3 citations, its impact lies in laying foundational work for practical, real-world deployment of acoustic networks in underwater robotics. Oshiro’s research addresses critical challenges in underwater communication—such as multipath interference and bandwidth limitations—making her work essential for advancing marine exploration, environmental monitoring, and offshore infrastructure maintenance.
