About
Hiroki Kaede is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, specializing in educational support robots and collaborative learning. His work focuses on how robots can motivate learners—particularly junior high school students—by negotiating the number of problems to solve, drawing on principles from politeness theory. Kaede’s major contribution lies in developing robot dialogue systems that move beyond fixed-problem-count models, instead allowing learners to actively set their own learning goals through conversation. This approach fosters autonomy and long-term engagement, addressing a key limitation in conventional educational robotics. His most-cited paper (2024, 3 citations) demonstrates that robots using polite, negotiative strategies improve learners’ impressions and motivation. A subsequent study (2025, 2 citations) extends this to collaborative learning settings, showing positive impacts on student behavior. Though early in his career, Kaede’s work is gaining attention for its novel integration of social robotics and educational psychology. His research promises to shape the next generation of adaptive, learner-centered educational technologies.
