About

Dr. Geon-Soo Park is a leading researcher in cognitive robotics and ethical artificial intelligence, with a focus on developing socially aware autonomous systems for domestic environments. His most cited work, "Application of Soar cognitive agent based on utilitarian ethics theory for home service robots" (2017, 20 citations), introduces a groundbreaking framework that integrates the Soar cognitive architecture with utilitarian ethics to enable home service robots to make morally grounded decisions. In this work, Park’s agent can record family member profiles—including health status and family roles—and autonomously infer appropriate responses, bridging the gap between machine cognition and human-centered care. This contribution is pivotal for advancing ethical AI in assistive robotics, demonstrating how robots can navigate complex social and ethical dilemmas in real-time. Park’s research has influenced subsequent studies in human-robot interaction and ethical decision-making systems, earning recognition for its practical implications in healthcare and home automation. His work continues to inspire new directions in value-aligned AI, making him a notable figure in the intersection of cognitive science, robotics, and applied ethics.
