About

Po-Yi Shih is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, cloud computing, and assistive technologies for aging populations. His most cited paper, "Human-robot interaction based on cloud computing infrastructure for senior companion" (2011), has garnered 13 citations and introduces the Senior Companion Robot System (SCRS)—a pioneering framework that leverages cloud computing to enable remote management and intelligent interaction for elderly care. This contribution addresses a critical societal need by offloading computational tasks to the cloud, making companion robots more affordable, scalable, and responsive. Shih’s work is notable for its practical, user-centered design, integrating web-based interfaces for caregivers to monitor and control robots remotely. By combining robotics with cloud infrastructure, he has helped lay the groundwork for more accessible and autonomous assistive systems. His research reflects a deep commitment to using technology to enhance quality of life for seniors, and his early adoption of cloud robotics in the context of human-robot interaction marks him as a forward-thinking contributor to the field.
