About

Lucy He is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and computer-supported cooperative work, with a focus on how telepresence robots reshape team dynamics. Her groundbreaking work, particularly the highly cited study *"Wait, Can You Move the Robot?"* (2018, 45 citations), investigates whether embodied presence through telepresence robots enhances remote team members' participation and collaboration. In this experiment, she demonstrated that robotic mobility significantly improves remote users' sense of agency and collocated teammates' perceptions of their remote counterparts, addressing a critical gap in remote teamwork. He’s contributions have advanced understanding of how physical embodiment influences social presence and team cohesion, with implications for designing more inclusive and effective remote work technologies. Her research bridges robotics, psychology, and organizational behavior, earning her recognition as a key voice in the field. With a growing citation impact, He continues to explore how robots can foster equitable participation in hybrid teams, making her work essential reading for students and researchers interested in the future of collaborative robotics.
