About

Dr. Andrew Kwok-Fai Lui is a researcher whose work bridges computing education and intelligent systems, with a particular focus on human-robot interaction and autonomous learning. His most cited work, "Facilitating independent learning with Lego Mindstorms robots" (46 citations), demonstrates his pioneering approach to computer science education—using robotics to scaffold self-directed learning among CS1 students, drawing on the Staged Self-Directed Learning Model to engage learners at varying levels of independence. More recently, Dr. Lui has contributed to the modeling of pedestrian behavior in built environments, as seen in his 2022 paper "Modelling of Pedestrian Movements near an Amenity in Walkways of Public Buildings" (22 citations). This work presents a novel computational approach to understanding how people interact with amenities in public spaces, with direct applications for autonomous robots navigating crowded environments. By combining educational innovation with real-world robotics challenges, Dr. Lui’s research addresses both the human and technical dimensions of intelligent systems. His work continues to influence how educators design engaging programming courses and how engineers develop socially aware robots for complex indoor settings.
