About
Jason Yip is a leading researcher at the intersection of child-computer interaction, participatory design, and social robotics. His work fundamentally explores how children perceive, fear, and hope for emerging technologies, with a particular focus on giving young people a genuine voice in the design process. Yip’s major contributions include pioneering longitudinal, online co-design methods—a critical advance accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic—and using speculative research to probe children’s nuanced views on robot morphology. His most cited work (42 citations) reveals that children hold complex, often contradictory attitudes: they are comfortable with robots doing chores but wary of them taking over relational or caregiving roles. Yip has also developed innovative frameworks like the “metaphor sandwich” to analyze how children use language during design sessions, and he has advanced the use of tabletop telepresence robots for sustained, intergenerational collaboration. With over 75 total citations across his top papers, Yip’s research is not only highly influential but also deeply human-centered, ensuring that the next generation of technology is shaped by—and accountable to—the very children who will grow up with it.
