About

Hsin-Yi Huang’s research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction, assistive robotics, and maker education, with a focus on designing technologies that enhance social and creative experiences. In her most cited work, “Developing an Interactive Fabrication Process of Maker Based on ‘Seeing-Moving-Seeing’ Model” (2019, 6 citations), Huang proposed a novel pedagogical framework that integrates iterative observation and physical manipulation to support hands-on learning in maker spaces—a contribution that bridges cognitive theory with tangible design practice. Her subsequent study, “Design of Robotic Pets to Help the Elderly with Social Interactions” (2020, 2 citations), addresses the global challenge of aging by exploring how socially assistive robots can mitigate loneliness and improve mental well-being among older adults. This work highlights her commitment to human-centered design for vulnerable populations, emphasizing the link between physical interaction and emotional health. Though early in her career, Huang’s research demonstrates a clear trajectory toward inclusive, interactive technologies that empower users through making and companionship. Her work offers valuable insights for researchers in HCI, gerontechnology, and educational robotics.
