About
Chang‐Kuo Tseng is a pioneering roboticist whose work sits at the intersection of humanoid robotics, entertainment, and human-robot interaction. His most celebrated contribution is the realization of the world’s first robot theater performance, featuring biped androids and twin-armed humanoid robots in a live theatrical cast—a landmark achievement in expressive robotics (42 citations). Tseng’s research focuses on designing robots that are not only functional but also socially and emotionally engaging. He developed a face robot capable of autonomously reading simplified musical notation and singing, as well as a two-armed companion robot that plays board games via an electronic touch panel, blending education with entertainment. His work on compliance mechanisms for small companion robots further advances safe, interactive design. Tseng’s creations, including a singing and news-broadcasting face robot, demonstrate his commitment to making robots approachable and communicative. With a portfolio that bridges engineering, art, and education, Tseng has established himself as a key figure in the development of companion and performance robots, inspiring future work in socially interactive robotics.
