About
Miyu Aoki’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction and spatial planning, with a focus on designing living environments where robots and humans coexist safely and comfortably. Her most cited work, “A STUDY ON THE DISTANCES OF AN UPRIGHT/CHAIR-SITTING SMALL MOBILE ROBOT TO MALE ADULT INDIVIDUALS” (2011), establishes foundational guidelines for determining appropriate approach distances between small mobile robots and adult males in both standing and seated postures. This study directly informs the development of socially aware navigation systems, ensuring robots respect personal space—a critical factor for trust and acceptance in shared spaces. Though her citation count is modest (4 citations), her contribution is notable for its practical relevance to human-robot proxemics, a growing field in robotics and ergonomics. By quantifying these interaction distances, Aoki provides essential data for architects, roboticists, and urban planners working on assistive technologies and autonomous systems. Her work underscores the importance of empirical, human-centered design in the age of collaborative robotics, offering a stepping stone for future studies on inclusive robot behavior across diverse populations and contexts.
