About

Keith Evan Green is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of architectural design, robotics, and human-computer interaction, whose work has fundamentally shaped the emerging field of architectural robotics. His research explores how intelligent, responsive built environments can enhance human wellbeing, support aging in place, and transform everyday spaces into adaptive ecosystems. Green's most influential contributions include his work on gesture-based interfaces for robot control—leveraging technologies like Microsoft Kinect to enable intuitive human-machine communication—and his development of novel robotic surfaces that respond to human physiological and emotional states. His "pheB" plant-human biofeedback system (35 citations) exemplifies his creative integration of soft robotics, nature, and emotion regulation, while his Assistive Robotic Table demonstrates practical applications for older and post-stroke adults. His 2012 manifesto "Architectural Robotics, Inevitably" (32 citations), co-authored with Mark Gross, helped crystallize a research agenda now pursued by scholars worldwide. With publications spanning literacy-supporting robotic environments, healthcare spaces, and stress-reduction surfaces, Green's body of work—accumulating nearly 200 citations—offers a compelling vision of built environments that are not merely inhabited, but genuinely alive and responsive to human needs.
