About

Fumi Tsukiyama is a leading researcher in human-computer interaction, specializing in child-computer interaction, participatory design, and telepresence robotics. Her work focuses on enabling meaningful, collaborative design experiences for children in hybrid and online environments—a critical area since the COVID-19 pandemic. Tsukiyama’s major contributions include pioneering longitudinal studies of tabletop telepresence robots as tools for co-design, demonstrating how children aged 8–12 can effectively collaborate across distances. Her 2023 paper, “Designing Together, Miles Apart,” with 15 citations, is a landmark study that shifts the field from short-term insights to sustained, longitudinal investigations of online co-design. This work has influenced how researchers approach remote participatory design with young users. Her 2025 follow-up, “Children using Tabletop Telepresence Robots for Collaboration,” further explores hybrid intergenerational dynamics, earning recognition for its practical implications. Tsukiyama’s research not only advances academic understanding but also provides actionable frameworks for educators, designers, and technologists working with children in distributed settings. Her dedication to empowering young voices in the design process makes her a vital figure in shaping inclusive, child-centered technology.
