About

Yuta Kiyama is a robotics researcher whose work centers on advancing autonomous service robots for domestic environments, particularly through the RoboCup@Home competition. As a key member of the Hibikino-Musashi@Home team—founded in 2010 and based in Kitakyushu Science and Research Park, Japan—Kiyama has contributed to the development of robots capable of performing complex household tasks, such as object recognition, navigation, and human-robot interaction. Their most cited work, the "Hibikino-Musashi@Home 2017 Team Description Paper" (15 citations), details the team’s technical approach and innovations in the open-platform league of RoboCup@Home Japan, where they have competed annually since 2010. The team’s interdisciplinary collaboration, involving 24 members from seven different laboratories, underscores Kiyama’s role in fostering a robust research ecosystem. This work has not only advanced the state of the art in domestic robotics but also provided a platform for training the next generation of engineers. Kiyama’s contributions highlight the practical challenges and breakthroughs in creating reliable, user-friendly service robots, making their research a touchstone for students and researchers interested in real-world robotics applications.
