About
Daijiro Itagaki’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, non-verbal communication, and social robotics, with a particular focus on how robots can use gaze to engage and guide people. His most cited work, “Museum Guide Robot by Considering Static and Dynamic Gaze Expressions to Communicate with Visitors” (2015), explores the dual role of human eyes—not only for seeing but also for signaling attention and intent. Itagaki investigates how robotic heads can be designed with both static features and dynamic behaviors to convey meaningful gaze cues, enabling more natural and effective interactions with humans. This contribution is foundational for developing robots that function as intuitive guides in public spaces like museums, where non-verbal communication is crucial. While his citation count is modest, his work addresses a core challenge in social robotics: making machines socially perceptible and trustworthy. Itagaki’s research is particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in designing robots that can seamlessly integrate into human environments, using subtle, eye-based signals to improve collaboration and visitor experience.
