About
Assem Kroma’s research sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, embodied cognition, and robotic arts, exploring how machines can communicate through movement and touch. Their most cited work, “Interfacing & Embodiment: ’Baby Tango’ Dancing Robot Attempts to Communicate” (2021, 4 citations), offers a foundational observation on decades of robotic dance research, tracing its roots to the 1920s and highlighting how recent technological leaps have finally begun to realize its potential. Kroma’s major contribution lies in reframing robotic movement not as mere programming, but as a form of embodied dialogue—where a robot’s physical presence and responsiveness can foster intuitive, non-verbal communication with humans. This perspective challenges traditional interface design, suggesting that dance and gesture may be more natural channels for human-robot bonding than screens or speech. Though early in their career, Kroma’s work has already sparked interest among researchers in social robotics and performance studies, positioning them as a thoughtful voice in the growing field of expressive machines. Their ongoing projects continue to probe how robots can learn from human partners, making interaction feel less like command and more like collaboration.
