About

Miwa Ueki is a pioneering researcher in the field of robot service integration and networked robotics, whose work has significantly shaped how service robots connect with internet-based platforms. Best known for developing and advancing the RSi Research Cloud (RSi-Cloud) framework, Ueki has been instrumental in enabling seamless integration between robot services and internet services through standardized communication protocols. Central to this contribution is the Robot Service Network Protocol (RSNP), which Ueki helped refine across multiple iterations — most notably RSNP 2.0 — to address the evolving requirements of robot service platforms as they transition from experimental to widespread deployment. With a most-cited paper accumulating 38 citations, Ueki's research has demonstrated both technical depth and practical relevance. Beyond theoretical frameworks, Ueki's work extends into real-world validation, including multi-year field operational tests examining robots deployed in commercial facilities for sales promotion — offering candid insights into the gap between user expectations and actual robot performance. These contributions collectively advance the vision of a scalable, interoperable robot service ecosystem. Ueki's body of work serves as a foundational reference for researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of robotics, cloud computing, and human-robot interaction.
