About

HeeSun Choi is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, human-robot interaction, and wearable assistive technology. Her work focuses on bridging the gap between robotic simulation and real-world application, particularly in dynamic environments where robots operate alongside humans. Choi’s most influential contribution, “On the use of simulation in robotics: Opportunities, challenges, and suggestions for moving forward” (2020), has garnered 157 citations, establishing her as a key voice in advocating for validated computer simulation as a critical proving ground for smart robot development. She has also advanced the field of wearable robotics with the creation of the Wearable Robot Perception (WeaR-P) Questionnaire (2023), a pioneering tool for assessing user experience with exoskeletons in workplace settings. Her ongoing research into the effects of robot arm design and movement speed during human-robot interaction (2025) further demonstrates her commitment to optimizing collaborative robotics for safety and efficiency. Choi’s work is essential reading for anyone exploring the practical deployment of robots in human-centered environments.
