About
Joichiro Amada is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, specializing in social robotics and persuasive technology. His work focuses on how robots can influence human behavior in public and daily-life settings, particularly through recommendation systems and crowd engagement. Amada’s major contributions include developing persuasion strategies for social robots to maintain user acceptance of repeated recommendations, demonstrating that robots can effectively serve as adaptive recommendation agents. His field experiments on the “crowd-drawing effect” reveal that pseudo-crowds of multiple robots can attract passersby, offering a novel approach to advertising in public spaces. Additionally, his research on embodiment expansion shows that varying robot forms can alter the likelihood of passersby complying with requests, such as disinfection prompts in shops. With over 30 citations across his most-cited works, Amada’s impact is evident in advancing practical applications for service robots. His notable achievements include conducting real-world field studies that bridge laboratory findings with commercial viability, positioning him as a key figure in the transition of social robots from experimental settings to everyday use.
