About

Chang‐Yong Kim is a researcher dedicated to improving the quality of life for the elderly through human-robot interaction and usability engineering. His key research areas focus on the design and evaluation of communication service robots tailored for aging populations, a critical need in rapidly aging societies like the Republic of Korea. Kim’s major contributions lie in developing robust usability evaluation frameworks that assess how effectively elderly users can interact with service robots, ensuring these technologies are both accessible and beneficial. His most-cited work, "Usability evaluation of communication service robot for the elderly" (2019, 9 citations), and its earlier version (2018, 4 citations), provide foundational insights into the specific challenges and requirements of senior-friendly robot design. By identifying key usability metrics and user-centered design principles, Kim’s research directly addresses the anticipated demands of a post-aged society, where assistive robots will play a vital role in supporting independent living and social interaction. His work stands as a notable achievement in bridging the gap between advanced robotics and the practical needs of an aging demographic, offering valuable guidance for developers and policymakers aiming to create inclusive, effective technologies.
