About
Fumiko Ikegami is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a focused interest in how communication robots can influence human mental well-being. Her work bridges robotics, psychology, and information technology to explore the therapeutic potential of conversational agents. In her most cited study, "A Study on the Impression Received from the Response of a Communication Robot" (2017, 7 citations), Ikegami investigates how a robot’s conversational responses affect a user’s mental state, employing the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) as a subjective measurement tool. This research lays foundational groundwork for using robots and IT to support mental health improvement, a timely and socially impactful pursuit. Though her citation count is modest, Ikegami’s contributions are notable for their interdisciplinary approach and practical implications, opening new avenues for non-pharmacological interventions in mental health care. Her work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in affective computing, social robotics, and the ethical design of technology for psychological support.
