About

Fei Tang investigates the intersection of human-robot interaction and social dynamics, with a primary focus on developing socially assistive robots that enhance group communication and collaboration. Their most notable contribution is the development of a system using the desktop robot Haru to actively assist group discussions, demonstrating how robots can improve group dynamics in social settings. This work, published in 2024 and garnering 4 citations, represents a significant step toward integrating robots into everyday human activities, particularly in contexts requiring nuanced social interaction. Tang’s research addresses the emerging challenge of designing robots that can perceive and respond to group behaviors, moving beyond one-on-one interaction to facilitate collective engagement. By leveraging Haru’s expressive capabilities, Tang has shown how robotic agents can mediate conversations, encourage participation, and foster more balanced group interactions. This contribution is especially relevant for applications in education, team-building, and collaborative work environments. Tang’s work positions them at the forefront of socially assistive robotics, offering a glimpse into a future where robots serve as intuitive partners in human social ecosystems.
