About
Su Jin Kim is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on understanding how children engage with social robots in real-world settings. Her work bridges developmental psychology and robotics, using innovative real-time interaction analysis to quantify and explore children's attitudes during communication with social robots. In her highly cited 2023 study, Kim developed novel methodologies for capturing and analyzing dynamic, moment-by-moment interactions between pediatric patients and robots, addressing a critical gap in HRI research. While her citation count is still growing, her contributions are already recognized for their practical implications in healthcare and education, where social robots are increasingly deployed. Kim’s research stands out for its emphasis on empirical, data-driven approaches to HRI, moving beyond subjective surveys to capture the nuanced, real-time dynamics of child-robot relationships. Her work is shaping how researchers design and evaluate social robots for vulnerable populations, making her a rising voice in the field of socially assistive robotics.
