About

Xinyue Dong is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on designing telepresence technologies that foster inclusive education and social connection. Her most-cited work, "Playful Telepresence Robots with School Children" (2024, 5 citations), explores how telepresence robots can bridge the gap for remotely located children, enabling real-time classroom participation and social interaction. Through a mixed-method study combining observation and questionnaires, Dong investigates the safety and effectiveness of these technologies in educational settings, offering critical insights into their practical deployment. Her research contributes to the growing field of child-robot interaction, emphasizing playful, human-centered design to enhance learning and emotional well-being. Dong’s work has implications for inclusive education, particularly for children who are homebound or geographically isolated. By blending technical innovation with user experience, she is shaping how robots can serve as empathetic tools in schools. Her findings are increasingly cited by researchers in robotics, education, and human-computer interaction, marking her as an emerging voice in the ethical and effective integration of robots into children’s daily lives.
