About
Jiayu Gina Qu is a rising scholar at the intersection of human-computer interaction, robotics, and domestic technology. Her research critically examines how emerging technologies—particularly home-based surveillance robots—reshape everyday life, human-animal relationships, and social dynamics within private spaces. In her most-cited work, "Me, pet, and robot: How home-based surveillance robot constructed different types of telepresence" (2025), Qu investigates the Enabot, a mobile surveillance robot, revealing how such devices transform pet monitoring, caregiving, and remote presence. This study, already garnering citations early in its publication cycle, offers novel insights into the unintended social consequences of domestic automation. Qu’s contributions are notable for bridging robotics, animal-computer interaction, and domestic studies, challenging assumptions about technology’s role in the home. Her work signals a critical, user-centered approach to understanding how robots mediate intimacy, surveillance, and care. As an emerging voice, Qu is poised to influence future discourse on ethical design and the lived experience of smart home technologies.
