About

Baorong Yang is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and traditional performing arts, with a particular focus on interactive robotic systems for cultural preservation. Yang’s most notable contribution is the development of a robot designed for interactive glove puppetry performance, a novel application that bridges cutting-edge robotics with the intangible cultural heritage of glove puppetry. This work, published in 2020, demonstrates how robotic systems can be programmed to mimic the nuanced, dexterous movements of a puppeteer’s hand, enabling real-time interaction with human performers. By integrating motion capture, haptic feedback, and autonomous gesture generation, Yang’s research opens new possibilities for preserving and innovating traditional art forms through technology. Although still emerging, with 2 citations to date, this pioneering project has been recognized for its creative and technical ambition, showcasing Yang’s ability to merge engineering with cultural storytelling. Yang’s work invites further exploration into how robots can serve as collaborative partners in artistic expression, making a meaningful impact on both robotics research and the future of interactive performance.
