About

Dr. Fengxiang Li is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in multisensory integration and affective computing. Their most-cited work, "Multisensory integration effect of humanoid robot appearance and voice on users’ affective preference and visual attention" (2022, 13 citations), represents a significant contribution to understanding how robot design influences human perception. In this landmark study, Dr. Li employed a sophisticated mixed-design eye-tracking experiment to reveal the joint effects of robot appearance and voice on users’ emotional preferences and visual attention—a critical insight for creating more engaging and socially acceptable humanoid robots. This work bridges cognitive psychology and robotics, demonstrating that the congruence between visual and auditory cues is essential for positive user experiences. Dr. Li’s research has direct implications for the design of companion robots, service robots, and assistive technologies, where user acceptance is paramount. By systematically investigating how multimodal features shape human responses, Dr. Li has established a foundational framework for the next generation of human-centered robotics, making their work essential reading for students and researchers in human-robot interaction, affective computing, and cognitive engineering.
