About
Haeun Park is a rising researcher in human-robot interaction, specializing in emotional expression models and social robot design. Her work focuses on bridging the gap between rigid, pre-programmed robot behaviors and the nuanced, dynamic emotional communication that fosters meaningful human-robot relationships. Park’s key contributions include the development of the Expanded Linear Dynamic Affect-Expression Model, which enables social robots to produce lingering, natural-seeming emotional expressions rather than abrupt, binary shifts. She has also explored multimodal expression, investigating how combining facial animations, color cues, and movement gestures can enhance user acceptance and communication effectiveness. Her research extends to practical applications, such as designing a dog-type social robot to support children’s reading activities, integrating touch sensor modules for interactive engagement. Despite being early in her career, Park’s papers—including those on facial expression customization and simultaneous control of facial and movement expressions—have already garnered citations, reflecting growing interest in her innovative approaches. Her work promises to make social robots more emotionally intelligent and relatable, advancing the field toward more authentic human-robot collaboration.
