About
Eunil Park is a prominent researcher specializing in human-robot interaction (HRI), technology acceptance, and social robotics, whose work has significantly advanced our understanding of how humans perceive, relate to, and adopt robotic technologies. Drawing on frameworks such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Park has explored the psychological and social dimensions that shape user attitudes toward robots across diverse contexts, from caregiving and education to domestic service environments. Among his most influential contributions is his 2013 investigation into caregiving roles in HRI, which garnered 229 citations and demonstrated how perceived benefit and social presence mediate human responses to robots. His research on personality dynamics in HRI, inspired by the "law of attraction," and his studies examining how feedback, temperature, body gestures, and appearance influence robot acceptance reveal a remarkably holistic approach to understanding human-robot relationships. Notably, Park extended this inquiry into educational settings, investigating teaching assistant and instructor robots, reflecting his commitment to practical, real-world applications. Park's body of work, spanning robotics, communication, and psychology, has accumulated hundreds of citations, establishing him as a key voice in shaping how researchers and designers think about socially intelligent robots and their integration into everyday human life.
