About
Dr. Chi-Chun Lee is a leading researcher at the intersection of affective computing, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology for neurodevelopmental disorders. His seminal work on the development of socially assistive robots for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), published in 2009, laid the groundwork for integrating autonomous robotic systems into therapeutic settings. This highly cited paper (16 citations) introduced a novel robotic platform paired with a “smart room” infrastructure, designed to engage children with ASD in structured, interactive activities that promote social communication and behavioral regulation. Dr. Lee’s contributions extend beyond hardware design; he has pioneered computational frameworks for analyzing multimodal behavioral signals—including speech, facial expressions, and physiological data—to enable robots to adapt their interactions in real time. His research has been instrumental in demonstrating how socially assistive robots can serve as predictable, non-judgmental partners for children with ASD, reducing anxiety and improving engagement during therapy. Recognized for bridging engineering and clinical psychology, Dr. Lee’s work continues to influence the design of intelligent, empathetic robotic systems that support human well-being.
