About

Hidetsugu Suto is a pioneering researcher in the emerging field of **robot literacy**, a concept he introduced to help society navigate an increasingly intelligent robotic world. His foundational work, "Robot Literacy: An Approach for Sharing Society with Intelligent Robots" (2013, 17 citations), reimagines traditional media literacy for the age of autonomous machines, proposing that humans must learn to form appropriate, ethical, and practical relationships with robots. This groundbreaking idea positions robot literacy as a critical skill for the 21st century, akin to digital literacy for the Internet age. Suto further developed this framework in "Developing an Education Material for Robot Literacy" (2014, 9 citations), creating tangible resources to teach these competencies. His work is notable for bridging education, human-robot interaction, and media studies, offering a proactive solution to the social challenges posed by AI and robotics. By framing robot literacy as a necessary component of modern education, Suto has laid the groundwork for how future generations will coexist with intelligent machines, making his contributions essential for students and researchers exploring the societal impact of robotics.
