About

Tomomi Kasuya is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on human-robot interaction, particularly the role of nonverbal communication in social robotics. Her most-cited paper, "Museum guide robot with three communication modes" (2008, 6 citations), introduces a novel robotic system that integrates autonomous, remote-control, and remote-interactive modes to engage visitors through gestures, gaze, and other nonverbal behaviors. This contribution highlights her interest in designing robots that can adapt their communication styles to different social contexts, enhancing natural and effective interaction between humans and machines. While her citation count reflects a focused but impactful body of work, Kasuya’s research offers valuable insights into how robots can function as social agents in public spaces like museums. Her approach underscores the importance of blending autonomy with human oversight, a key challenge in the field. For students and researchers exploring human-robot interaction, Kasuya’s work serves as a thoughtful example of how nonverbal cues can bridge the gap between robotic functionality and human social expectations.
