About
Chia-Hsin Wu is a rising researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), focusing on how robots can enhance well-being and learning across the lifespan. Her work centers on assistive robotics for older adults, exploring how zoomorphic mobile robots can promote physical activity and social engagement in outdoor settings—a novel approach to combating sedentary lifestyles in eldercare. Wu also investigates co-learning dynamics, bringing together elementary school pupils and university students around social robots to foster interdisciplinary education and critical thinking about data privacy. Additionally, she delves into the personality design of non-anthropomorphic wellness robots, seeking to reduce user anxiety and uncertainty by crafting intentional, relatable robotic traits. With over 20 citations across her most-cited papers, Wu’s contributions are gaining traction for their practical, human-centered approach. Her 2023 study on walking with a zoomorphic robot stands out for its real-world application, while her work on co-learning highlights the importance of inclusive, multi-generational tech education. Wu’s research bridges engineering, psychology, and design, offering actionable insights for creating robots that are not only functional but also emotionally resonant and trustworthy.
