About

Dr. Dilip Limbu Kumar is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on socially assistive robotics and autonomous service systems. His work explores how robots can be designed to engage meaningfully with humans in domestic and caregiving contexts. Kumar’s most influential study, “Evaluation of the Pet Robot CuDDler Using Godspeed Questionnaire” (2013, 9 citations), introduced a novel framework for assessing user perceptions of companion robots, employing the widely recognized Godspeed scale to measure anthropomorphism, animacy, and likeability. This contribution has provided a foundational methodology for subsequent research in affective robotics. Earlier, his paper “An Interactive Robot Butler” (2009, 5 citations) laid important groundwork for developing autonomous service robots capable of performing household tasks while maintaining natural social interaction. Though his citation counts reflect a niche but dedicated community, Kumar’s work is notable for bridging technical robotics design with rigorous user evaluation, offering practical insights for creating robots that are both functional and emotionally resonant. His research continues to influence the design of companion robots for elderly care and therapeutic applications.
