About

Tomohiro Otani is a leading researcher in the fields of network softwarization, robotic process automation, and optical network management. His work bridges the gap between emerging software-defined networking (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) technologies and the practical challenges of maintaining physical infrastructure. Otani’s major contribution lies in developing robotic assistance systems for on-site network maintenance, addressing a critical bottleneck in fully automated network operations. His most-cited paper, "Robotic Assistance Operation for Effective On-site Network Maintenance Works" (2021), has garnered 3 citations and proposes innovative solutions for integrating robotic agents into network centers to handle hardware tasks that remain outside the scope of pure software control. This research is notable for its practical impact on reducing human error and operational costs in telecommunications. Otani’s work has been recognized for advancing the vision of zero-touch network management, and he continues to influence both academic research and industry practices in network automation.
