About
Chien-Wei Lu is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction and assistive robotics, with a focused commitment to enhancing quality of life through intelligent, empathetic machines. His foundational work on the "TRiCmini" telepresence robot, which garnered 4 citations, established a critical framework for using robotic platforms to combat social isolation and support independent living for the elderly. This early contribution laid the groundwork for his most impactful research: a groundbreaking 2025 study on lightweight multimodal emotion recognition for companion robots. This work, already accumulating citations, introduces a novel deep learning framework that integrates facial and speech features, optimized for resource-constrained platforms like the Zenbo Junior II. By customizing a GhostNet architecture with Triplet Attention Modules (TAM) and a Frame Attention Network (FAN), Lu has solved a key challenge in real-time affective computing, enabling companion robots to perceive and respond to human emotions with unprecedented efficiency. His contributions are vital for the next generation of socially assistive robots, promising more natural, responsive, and therapeutic interactions for vulnerable populations.
