About
Yozo Shoji is a visionary researcher shaping the future of Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G communications through his pioneering work on the "Piggy-back Network." His core research integrates autonomous mobility, wireless communications, and robotics to create resilient, data-driven societies. Shoji’s most notable contribution is the conceptualization and prototyping of the Piggy-back Network, a paradigm that leverages autonomous mobilities—such as service robots—as store-carry-forward (SCF) data relays. This approach overcomes the limitations of conventional infrastructure, enabling seamless connectivity in challenging environments. His 2021 paper, "Piggy-back Network to enable Beyond5G Society supported by Autonomous Mobilities," has garnered 5 citations, reflecting its foundational role in this emerging field. Shoji’s work is particularly impactful for its practical prototyping on real-world service robot platforms, bridging theory and application. By reimagining data transfer through mobile nodes, he has opened new pathways for B5G applications in disaster recovery, smart cities, and autonomous logistics. For students and researchers, Shoji’s research exemplifies how interdisciplinary thinking—merging robotics, networking, and mobility—can solve the connectivity challenges of tomorrow.
