About
R. N. Mousumi is a researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on designing socially aware service robots that respond to human emotional cues. Her most cited work, "Determination of Active Personal Space Based on Emotion when Interacting with a Service Robot" (2013), introduces the concept of active personal space (APS)—the dynamic distance a robot maintains during interaction based on a user’s emotional state. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in robotics: enabling machines to adapt their physical proximity to enhance comfort and trust. By linking emotional recognition to spatial behavior, Mousumi’s research lays groundwork for more intuitive and empathetic robotic companions. Though her citation count is modest, the work’s interdisciplinary relevance—bridging psychology, affective computing, and robotics—positions it as a foundational reference for studies on proxemics in human-robot teams. Her insights are particularly valuable for applications in healthcare, assistive living, and service automation, where non-verbal cues shape effective collaboration. Mousumi’s research continues to influence how robots perceive and respect human boundaries, advancing the goal of seamless human-robot coexistence.
