About
Yuki Kimura is a rising researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on how robots influence human perception, trust, and social behavior. Their work explores the psychological and social dynamics of robotic systems, particularly in customer engagement and deception scenarios. Kimura’s 2024 study, "Two is better than one," demonstrated that using multiple robots to describe objects significantly enhances the feeling of *kawaii* (cuteness) and customer attraction, offering a novel approach to robot-presentation systems. This paper has already garnered 5 citations, signaling its impact on the field. In their 2025 work, "Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me," Kimura investigates how people respond to being deceived by robots, revealing that repeated deception does not necessarily make individuals more cautious—a finding with critical implications for trust calibration and interaction literacy. This research contributes to the growing need for ethical guidelines in human-robot interaction. Kimura’s work is notable for bridging affective computing and social robotics, challenging assumptions about how robots can shape human emotions and decision-making. Their findings are essential for designing robots that are both engaging and trustworthy in real-world applications.
