About
Casey Lee Hunt is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, specializing in haptic communication and child-centered participatory design. Their work explores how robotic touch can convey emotion, a field where they have made significant contributions through the development of TactorBots—a haptic design toolkit that enables out-of-lab exploration of emotional robotic touch. This toolkit, detailed in their most-cited paper (34 citations), addresses the ambiguity of artificial touch by treating its "otherness" as a design opportunity rather than a limitation. Hunt is also a pioneer in online co-design with children, particularly through longitudinal studies using tabletop telepresence robots. Their 2023 paper on this topic (15 citations) provides critical insights into sustaining creative collaboration with children in hybrid and remote settings, a need amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Hunt’s work has been recognized through peer-reviewed publications and demonstrations, including a 2025 study on intergenerational participatory design. By bridging haptic technology and child-computer interaction, Hunt is shaping how we design emotionally expressive robots and inclusive, long-term co-design practices for young users.
