About

Renxi Qiu’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, service robotics, and intelligent task planning, with a strong focus on assisting elderly and frail users in home environments. A key contribution is the user-centered design of a dynamic-autonomy remote interaction concept for manipulation-capable robots, detailed in a highly cited 2012 paper (78 citations), which addresses the critical gap between autonomous capability and real-world reliability. Qiu also led a step-by-step procedure to define user requirements for frail older adults (51 citations), ensuring that robotic assistance is both practical and empathetic. In the SRS project, Qiu gained foundational experience building robust personal assistant robots using ROS and Care-O-bot. More recently, Qiu has explored the convergence of 5G/6G communications and distributed AI to enable Industry 5.0, with a 2024 paper already garnering 23 citations. Notable achievements include integrating common-sense knowledge bases with robot task planners to improve planning efficiency, and developing semantic knowledge representations for automated planning in dynamic domestic settings. With over 240 citations across a decade of work, Qiu’s research continues to shape how service robots can safely and effectively support people in their daily lives.
