About
Naho Saito is a researcher focused on advancing human-robot interaction, particularly in the development of service robots and conversational systems. Her work addresses critical challenges in making robots more responsive and effective in real-world settings. A key contribution is her method for service robot development using a design structure matrix, which systematically manages the complex interactions between people, physical products, and services—a framework that has garnered attention with 8 citations since 2022. Saito also explores the detection of conversation breakdowns by analyzing human behavioral information, such as motion characteristics, to improve communication fluency between humans and robots. Her 2020 study on this topic, though early in its citation impact, lays groundwork for more natural dialogue systems. By integrating engineering design with behavioral science, Saito’s research offers practical pathways to bridge the gap between robotic prototypes and market-ready services. Her work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in service robotics, human factors engineering, and the development of socially aware AI.
