About
Myounghoon Jeon is a prominent researcher whose work spans human-computer interaction (HCI), human-robot interaction (HRI), autonomous vehicles, and inclusive technology design. His scholarship bridges technical innovation with humanistic inquiry, exploring how people emotionally and cognitively engage with intelligent systems, robots, and interactive art. Jeon has made substantial contributions to understanding in-vehicle intelligent agents in autonomous driving, demonstrating through multiple studies—collectively garnering over 125 citations—how factors like voice gender, speech style, and embodiment shape driver trust, comfort, and perceived competence. His work with children is equally impactful: through child-robot theater and musical dance games, he has advanced STEAM education and therapeutic interventions for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, showing how carefully designed robotic frameworks can address sensory and social challenges. Jeon also examines the philosophical and cultural dimensions of interactive technology, tracing connections between ritual, magic, and HCI, and championing robotic arts as a legitimate creative frontier. His more recent scholarship on emotion-trust dynamics and human-robot attachment reflects a deepening commitment to understanding the psychological bonds people form with AI systems—research increasingly vital as autonomous and social robots become woven into everyday life.
