About

Dr. Kiyoshi Yasuda is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and assistive technology, with a focused mission to enhance the quality of life for elderly individuals through personalized, conversational AI. His pioneering work centers on developing "mind sensing" techniques—systems that externalize the internal states of seniors through natural dialogue with chatbots and care robots. Dr. Yasuda’s most influential contribution is the **VirtualCareGiver** (38 citations), a framework designed to overcome the rigidity of existing care robots by enabling dynamic personalization without requiring custom programming. He further advanced this concept with the **Service Integration Agent** (15 citations), which orchestrates personalized smart care. His practical innovations include a **chatbot for daily health recording** (13 citations) and a **rule-based inquiry service** (7 citations) for efficient, in-home mind sensing. By integrating these conversational agents with activity recognition systems, Dr. Yasuda has created a holistic approach to long-term care that empowers seniors to articulate their needs and health status naturally. His work stands at the intersection of robotics, gerontechnology, and affective computing, offering scalable, empathetic solutions for the global aging population.
