About
He Jiang Loke is a researcher whose work explores the critical intersection of human-robot interaction and cultural acceptance. His primary research area focuses on the psychological and sociological factors that influence how different populations perceive and embrace robotic technologies. Loke’s most significant contribution is his pioneering study on the "uncanny valley" phenomenon within the Malaysian context, examining how urban and rural communities differ in their acceptance of various robotic facial designs. This work, published in 2018, has garnered 4 citations and provides foundational insights into the cultural variability of human-robot acceptance—a crucial consideration for the global deployment of robots in homes, schools, hospitals, and elderly care centers. By highlighting the distinct preferences and anxieties of diverse populations, Loke’s research challenges one-size-fits-all approaches to robot design and offers practical guidance for creating more culturally attuned, socially acceptable robotic interfaces. His work is particularly notable for bridging the gap between technical robotics development and the nuanced realities of human social psychology.
