About

Jae Hee Chung is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and child development, with a primary focus on designing socially assistive robots for family environments. Her most cited work, "Child-centered home service design for a family robot companion" (2024, 5 citations), introduces a pioneering framework for cultivating children's social-emotional skills through robot-mediated play. By interviewing child development experts and parents, Chung developed a comprehensive home robot service comprising 50 structured plays and 70 conversational interactions, all grounded in psychomotor therapy principles. This work demonstrates her unique ability to bridge developmental psychology with practical robotics design, creating evidence-based interventions that support emotional growth in natural home settings. Chung's contributions are particularly notable for their child-centered methodology, ensuring that technological solutions respect children's developmental needs rather than imposing adult-centric designs. Her research has significant implications for the growing field of companion robotics, offering a replicable model for integrating social-emotional learning into everyday family life. As the demand for home-based educational technologies increases, Chung's foundational work positions her as a key voice in shaping how robots can nurture, rather than simply entertain, young children.
