About

Terence Ng Wen Zheng is a researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on affective computing and social robotics. His most cited work introduces the CuDDler robot, a platform designed to recognize and respond to human emotional cues during social interactions. By implementing a system capable of detecting affective stimuli and generating appropriate responses, Ng’s research demonstrates how robots can move beyond functional tasks to engage in emotionally aware exchanges. This contribution, with 19 citations, lays groundwork for more natural and empathetic human-robot relationships. Ng’s work is notable for bridging engineering and psychology, emphasizing the importance of emotional intelligence in robotic design. His research has implications for assistive technologies, therapy, and everyday companionship, where robots must interpret and react to human feelings. Through the CuDDler project, Ng highlights the potential for robots to become more intuitive partners, advancing the field of socially interactive robotics.
