Research Themes
Questions and domains the studio investigates
Interpreting Robot Intentions
How do people read meaning into robot actions, gestures, and timing? How do these interpretations shape trust, cooperation, and everyday use?
Embodied Interaction in Learning, Care & Collaboration
How do physical presence, movement, and spatial coordination matter in collaborative tasks with robots and emerging tech among educational and therapeutic settings, particularly for sensitive contexts?
Trust Through Conversation Patterns
How turn-taking, repair, silence, and small breakdowns in human-AI/ human-robot dialogue influence trust, comfort, and long-term engagement?
Technology, Creativity & Healing
How HCI and HRI intersect with art, self-expression, and personal rituals as ways of coping, making meaning, and supporting emotional wellbeing?
