About
Jangwoon Park is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, rehabilitation engineering, and user experience design. His work focuses on making robots more socially intuitive and physically assistive, particularly for vulnerable populations such as older adults and individuals with disabilities. Park’s most cited paper (21 citations) establishes comprehensive design guidelines for meal-assistance robots, addressing the critical gap in evaluating human-machine social interactions during feeding tasks. He has also made significant contributions to personality-adaptive robotics, demonstrating through speech analysis how robots can recognize introversive and extroversive traits to improve interaction quality. In rehabilitation, Park’s subjective evaluations of lower-limb exoskeleton robots (10 citations) highlight the importance of usability and user value alongside technical advancement. His development of “Dali,” a social robot for aging in place, exemplifies his commitment to practical, empathetic technology. With a growing body of work that bridges engineering, psychology, and healthcare, Park is shaping how assistive robots can be designed not just to function, but to connect—ultimately enhancing quality of life through human-centered robotics.
