About

Seiko Shirasaka is a leading researcher at the intersection of systems engineering, digital transformation, and robotics. Her work focuses on the strategic integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with robotic systems, particularly through the lens of digital platforms. In her highly cited 2020 paper, "Internet of Robotic Things with Digital Platforms: Digitization of Robotics Enterprise," she explores how digitization can reshape robotics enterprises, proposing frameworks that bridge physical robotic operations with cloud-based digital ecosystems. This contribution has garnered 17 citations and is recognized for its forward-looking approach to Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. Shirasaka’s research is instrumental in advancing the concept of the "Internet of Robotic Things" (IoRT), where robots are not isolated but connected, data-driven, and capable of autonomous decision-making within digital platforms. Her work has significant implications for enterprise digitization, enabling more efficient, scalable, and intelligent robotic systems. As a thought leader in systems engineering, she continues to influence how organizations design and deploy cyber-physical systems, making her a key figure for students and researchers interested in the future of robotics and digital innovation.
