About

Riichi Kudo is a leading researcher at the forefront of integrating machine vision with wireless communications, pioneering methods to predict link quality in next-generation networks. His work addresses a critical challenge for autonomous systems—ensuring reliable connectivity for self-driving cars, robots, and remote-controlled vehicles. Kudo’s key contributions include developing vision-based object detection to forecast 5.6-GHz channel performance, a two-step prediction framework using multi-camera images, and extending these techniques to 28-GHz millimeter-wave 5G channels. His 2020 and 2022 papers on link quality prediction, each garnering 5 citations, demonstrate the early impact of his cross-disciplinary approach. In 2024, Kudo advanced the field further with a study on 5G throughput prediction using physical space information, earning 4 citations. His experimental validations with mobility robots in wireless LAN systems provide practical, real-world evidence for his theories. By fusing computer vision and radio frequency analysis, Kudo is enabling the robust, low-latency connections essential for the safe operation of autonomous machines in smart cities and industrial automation.
