About

Tomoyuki Shiotani is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and ubiquitous computing, best known for his pioneering work on the **Ubiquitous Display (UD)** — a mobile projection robot that integrates a pan-tilt projector with a mobile platform. His key research areas include **mobile robotics, ambient displays, and context-aware systems**, where he focuses on developing robots that can dynamically project visual information onto any surface, such as walls, floors, or objects. Shiotani’s major contributions include the design and refinement of the Ubiquitous Display 2.0, which addressed structural issues in earlier prototypes to enable more robust and versatile projection capabilities. He also built a behavior model for the UD to provide situation-oriented services in large-scale public facilities, ensuring that the robot adapts its projections based on user context and environment. With over 30 citations across his most-cited works, Shiotani’s research has significantly advanced the field of **mobile projection robotics**, offering a novel approach to information delivery in public spaces. His work is particularly notable for bridging the gap between physical robotics and digital displays, paving the way for more intuitive and interactive human-robot interactions in everyday environments.
