About
Dr. Xiaoxi Du is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and cognitive neuroscience. Her work fundamentally explores how the design of human-like robots shapes our perceptual and emotional responses, with a focus on the neural mechanisms underlying these processes. In her landmark 2024 EEG study, which has already garnered 13 citations, Dr. Du demonstrated how varying degrees of robot anthropomorphism influence users' event-related brain potentials, revealing distinct neural pathways for processing appearance and emotional engagement. This research provides critical insights for designing socially intelligent robots that can effectively integrate into human environments, from healthcare to education. Dr. Du’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging engineering design with cognitive science, offering a rigorous empirical foundation for understanding how humans perceive and connect with artificial beings. Her work not only advances the field of social robotics but also informs ethical considerations in robot design, ensuring that future human-robot interactions are both intuitive and emotionally resonant.
