About

Gi-En Yu is a researcher dedicated to advancing the safety and reliability of personal care robots—machines designed for close human interaction in non-industrial settings. His work focuses on risk assessment and accident prevention, addressing the urgent need for safety standards as these robots become more common in homes and care facilities. In his most-cited study (2017, 6 citations), Yu systematically collected and analyzed domestic and international accident cases, establishing a foundational framework for understanding hazards in human-robot interaction. His subsequent work (2018, 2 citations) refined this approach by developing a risk assessment methodology for mobile servant robots, emphasizing the identification of hazardous factors and the estimation of injury likelihood and severity. Though his citation counts are modest, Yu’s contributions are notable for their practical impact on safety regulations and design guidelines, helping to mitigate risks before widespread deployment. His research bridges engineering and public safety, offering critical insights for students and engineers working on assistive robotics. By prioritizing harm prevention, Yu has positioned himself as a key voice in the responsible development of personal care technology.
