About

Shu-Han Lin is an emerging researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and health technology, with a primary focus on leveraging social robots to improve sleep health and well-being. Her most notable work, the 2025 scoping review "Social Robots for Sleep Health," synthesizes the current landscape of robotic interventions for sleep disorders, highlighting how companion robots can support relaxation, bedtime routines, and sleep hygiene. This foundational review has already garnered early citations, signaling its importance in a rapidly growing field. Lin’s contributions are particularly significant for their interdisciplinary approach, bridging robotics, psychology, and clinical sleep medicine. By mapping existing evidence and identifying gaps in research, she provides a roadmap for future studies and practical applications. Her work holds promise for non-pharmacological, accessible sleep aids, especially for vulnerable populations like older adults or children. As a rising voice in socially assistive robotics, Shu-Han Lin is poised to shape how technology can gently and effectively address one of the most pervasive health challenges of modern life.
