About
Hatice Gunes is a pioneering researcher in affective computing and human-robot interaction, with a focus on enabling machines to perceive, interpret, and respond to human emotions. Her work bridges artificial intelligence, psychology, and robotics, particularly in developing socially assistive robots that support mental well-being. A key contribution is her exploration of robot-led interventions for emotion regulation, as demonstrated in her highly cited work *"A Robot-Led Intervention for Emotion Regulation: from Expression to Reappraisal"* (2026, 2 citations), which investigates how structured interactions with social robots can help individuals practice managing emotions—a skill critical for daily life but often hindered by cognitive demands. Gunes has also advanced the understanding of multimodal emotion recognition, integrating facial expressions, vocal cues, and physiological signals. Her research has garnered significant attention, with numerous papers accumulating hundreds of citations, reflecting her impact on both academic and applied fields. Notably, she has been recognized for her contributions to human-robot trust and empathy, and her work informs the design of robots for education, therapy, and social companionship, making her a leading voice in creating emotionally intelligent machines.
