About
Woojung Kim is a rising scholar at the forefront of logistics and technology adoption, whose work critically examines the human factors shaping the future of last-mile delivery. Her research centers on consumer behavior and acceptance of emerging autonomous delivery systems, particularly drones and robots. Kim’s major contribution lies in synthesizing fragmented knowledge on this nascent topic; her landmark systematic review, “Why and Why Not? Systematic Review of the Willingness to Accept Drone and Robot Deliveries” (2024), is the first to consolidate and analyze the drivers and barriers to public acceptance of these technologies. This work, already garnering 6 citations in its first year, provides a foundational framework for researchers and practitioners navigating the transition from conventional truck deliveries to autonomous alternatives. By mapping the complex interplay of trust, perceived risk, and convenience, Kim has established herself as a key voice in understanding how to bridge the gap between technological innovation and societal readiness. Her research is essential reading for anyone studying the behavioral implications of autonomous logistics and the pathways to sustainable, efficient urban delivery systems.
