About

Eun Jung Kwon is a researcher whose work centers on human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on exploring innovative approaches to how humans engage with robotic systems. Her most recognized contribution examines a thought-provoking comparison between traditional humanoid robots and projector robots, investigating which approach proves more effective in both information transfer and user acceptance. This research challenges conventional assumptions in the field by proposing that indirect interaction modalities — such as projection-based systems — may offer compelling alternatives to the familiar humanoid form factor that has long dominated robotics design thinking. Published in 2010, Kwon's comparative study has accumulated citations across multiple publication venues, reflecting sustained interest from the HRI community in her findings. Her work is particularly relevant to researchers and designers grappling with questions of robot design philosophy, user experience, and the practical deployment of robots in real-world environments where human comfort and communication efficiency are critical considerations. For students entering the field of human-robot interaction or social robotics, Kwon's research offers a valuable lens through which to question the default assumption that humanlike robots are inherently superior, encouraging a more nuanced, evidence-based approach to robot design and evaluation.
