About
Francis Baek is a rising scholar in the field of construction robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focus on the psychological and emotional dimensions of collaborative work environments. His research bridges engineering, psychology, and human factors, exploring how human emotional responses—such as trust, stress, and engagement—affect team performance and safety in construction settings. In his most-cited work, "Effect of human emotional responses on human-robot team pty in construction" (2024, 14 citations), Baek provides foundational insights into how affective states influence human-robot coordination, offering new frameworks for designing adaptive robotic systems that respond to human cues. Though early in his career, his work has already been recognized for its interdisciplinary approach, contributing to the emerging field of socially aware construction automation. Baek’s research holds significant implications for improving worker well-being and efficiency on complex job sites, and he is actively shaping the next generation of human-robot collaboration in the built environment.
