About
Kazuhiko Mase is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a career dedicated to making robots socially intelligent and collaborative partners. His work centers on developing interactive humanoid robots, multi-robot cooperation, and ubiquitous experience media. Mase’s most influential contribution is a constructive architecture for humanoid robots that correlates a robot’s perceived intelligence with its behavioral repertoire—a framework that has garnered 64 citations. He also demonstrated how a robot’s gaze direction critically shapes human perception in communication, a finding cited 63 times. Beyond individual robots, Mase advanced multi-robot systems that cooperate to facilitate natural human-robot dialogue, and he pioneered the concept of “co-experience communication” using wearable sensors and communication robots to capture and share human experiences. His research on four-fingered robot hands and evolutionary programming for dexterous manipulation further showcases his technical breadth. With over 150 citations across his top papers, Mase’s work has fundamentally shaped how robots are designed to understand, interact with, and assist humans in daily life.
