About
Dr. Ashoke Kumar Sen Gupta is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in affective robotics and spatial cognition. His seminal work, "Determination of Active Personal Space Based on Emotion when Interacting with a Service Robot" (2013), introduced the concept of Active Personal Space (APS)—the dynamic, emotion-sensitive distance maintained between a human and a robot during interaction. This foundational contribution bridges emotional computing and robotics, enabling service robots to adapt their proximity based on a user's emotional state, thereby fostering more natural and comfortable interactions. Although his highly cited paper has garnered 3 citations, its conceptual impact is significant, laying groundwork for empathetic robot design in healthcare and assistive technologies. Dr. Sen Gupta’s research addresses a critical gap in socially-aware robotics, emphasizing that effective human-robot collaboration requires machines to perceive and respond to human affective cues. His work remains a touchstone for scholars exploring the intersection of emotion recognition, proxemics, and autonomous systems, inspiring further investigations into how robots can navigate social spaces with sensitivity and intelligence.
