About
Chie Kishimoto is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics, human-robot interaction, and psychophysiology. Her work explores how robotic presence can modulate human emotional and physiological states, with a particular focus on pain perception and stress responses. In her most-cited study, "The Potential of a Robot Presence in Close Relationship to Influence Human Responses to Experimental Pain" (2025, 3 citations), Kishimoto demonstrated that a communication robot named Moffuly could reduce pain perception and alter hormonal markers in healthy participants—suggesting that robots may serve as non-pharmacological tools for pain management, especially in contexts of loneliness. This work bridges robotics and healthcare, offering new avenues for supportive technology. Kishimoto’s research is notable for its interdisciplinary approach, combining experimental psychology, endocrinology, and robotics engineering. Her findings have implications for elderly care, chronic pain treatment, and mental health support. As a rising scholar, Kishimoto is helping to shape a future where robots are not just functional tools but empathetic companions capable of influencing human well-being.
