About
Aleksandra Kawala-Sterniuk is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and smart infrastructure. Her work focuses on creating more intuitive and responsive robotic systems by extending traditional HRI with external smart sensors and embedded subsystems. A key contribution is her development of a "Human Interaction Smart Subsystem," which enhances speech-based HRI by acquiring richer contextual information about the robot's interlocutor (43 citations). She has pioneered early emotion recognition using IoT-embedded systems, enabling robots to pre-emptively adjust their behavior before a human even speaks (10 citations). Her applied work includes designing the AI engine for a humanoid receptionist that acts as a sophisticated interface to a broader smart infrastructure (7 citations), and improving human recognition for more natural machine interaction (6 citations). Kawala-Sterniuk’s research demonstrates a clear trajectory toward robots that are not isolated machines, but intelligent, context-aware nodes within a connected ecosystem, significantly advancing the field of autonomous, socially-aware robotics.
