About
Enrique Coronado Zuniga is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and participatory design, with a focus on making robotic systems more robust and socially attuned in real-world settings. His work addresses a critical challenge: as robots increasingly operate in public and domestic spaces, their inevitable failures can undermine user trust and system effectiveness. Coronado Zuniga’s major contribution lies in developing a participatory design methodology that involves end-users in redesigning HRI strategies specifically in response to robot failures—an approach that has garnered 43 citations and is shaping more resilient, user-centered robotics. Beyond technical reliability, he explores the nuanced social dynamics of human-robot coexistence, as evidenced by his study on “Yōkobo,” a sensible presence robot designed to alleviate loneliness among newly retired couples. This work, with 15 citations, highlights his ability to blend engineering with emotional and relational design. Coronado Zuniga’s research is notable for its commitment to inclusive, iterative design processes that prioritize human experience, making him a key voice in advancing socially sustainable robotics for everyday life.
