About
Yoyo Wing Yiu Cheung is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, positive psychology, and mental health. His work explores how social robots can be designed to foster emotional well-being, with a particular focus on integrating contemplative practices such as loving-kindness meditation and walking meditation into robotic systems. In his most-cited paper, "Loving-kindness and walking meditation with a robot: Countering negative mood by stimulating creativity" (2023, 8 citations), Cheung demonstrates how robotic companions can serve as catalysts for creativity and mood regulation, offering a novel, non-pharmacological approach to countering negative emotional states. This research bridges the gap between technology and mindfulness, suggesting that robots can be more than tools—they can be partners in emotional resilience. Cheung’s contributions are particularly impactful for students and researchers in affective computing and human-robot interaction, as they challenge conventional boundaries of robotic empathy and open new avenues for designing interventions that support mental health. His work, though still emerging, signals a promising shift toward more compassionate, human-centered robotics.
