About

Hyung-Jeong Yang is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and empathic computing, with a focus on making collaborative technologies more intuitive and emotionally intelligent. Her work centers on two key areas: enhancing human engagement in collaborative robot (cobot) programming and developing systems that recognize and respond to human empathy in remote collaboration. In her 2022 study on human engagement in cobot programming, Yang addresses the critical challenge of integrating flexible, user-friendly automation into manufacturing, emphasizing the need for non-expert operators to program robots effectively—a contribution that has garnered 5 citations and highlights the practical implications of her research. Her 2024 survey on empathic expression in remote collaboration, with 3 citations, explores how empathic computing can enable humanoid robots and digital interfaces to foster more comfortable, human-like interactions. By bridging the gap between technical robotics and human emotional cues, Yang’s work lays the groundwork for more accessible and socially aware automation, offering valuable insights for students and researchers interested in the future of collaborative technology and human-centered AI.
