About

Rasmus Peter Junge is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, focusing on how mobile robots can effectively communicate and collaborate with people in real-world settings. His work addresses two critical challenges: enabling robots to solicit help when stuck and promoting public health behaviors through robotic persuasion. In his most cited paper, "What Will It Take to Help a Stuck Robot?" (2022, 11 citations), Junge explores signaling methods that allow a mobile robot to engage passers-by for assistance, reducing the need for human maintenance intervention. This research is pivotal for deploying autonomous robots in human-centric environments. Junge also contributes to health robotics, designing interfaces that motivate proper hand sanitization using speech and gaze interaction (2021, 7 citations), and developing a mobile social hand disinfection robot for hospitals (2022, 4 citations). His work uniquely blends technical robotics with social psychology, creating robots that are not only functional but also socially adept. By addressing everyday obstacles and public health needs, Junge’s research demonstrates the potential of robots as cooperative partners in our daily lives.
