Y. Nukariya

About

Y. Nukariya is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing personal robots that can safely and naturally coexist with humans in joint work and community life. Their work centers on three key areas: bioinstrumentation for measuring human-robot interaction, emotional expression in humanoid robots, and memory models for robotic cognition. Nukariya's most impactful contribution is the development of a bioinstrumentation system (41 citations) that objectively measures the psychical effects of robots on humans, moving beyond subjective questionnaires to quantify the psychological impact of robotic presence. They have also advanced the field through innovative mechanisms for humanoid robots to express human-like emotions, including a face robot capable of replicating facial features and expressions. Notably, Nukariya introduced a novel co-associative memory model using mutually coupled chaotic neural networks, enabling robots to generate context-appropriate behaviors depending on mood. Their work on behavior generation systems that respond to emotional states represents a significant step toward more natural human-robot communication. Through these contributions, Nukariya has helped lay the groundwork for personal robots that are not only functionally capable but also psychologically compatible with human users.
