About

Jia-Hsun Lo is a rising researcher at the forefront of cognitive robotics and human-robot interaction (HRI), whose work bridges artificial intelligence, psychology, and control systems. His primary research areas include engagement detection, robot personality simulation, memory-based cognitive architectures, and whole-body control for humanoid robots. Lo’s most impactful contribution is the development of a comprehensive robot cognitive system for complex environments, integrating engagement, intention, and HRI models to make interactions more natural and comfortable—a study that has already garnered 14 citations since 2024. He has also pioneered the use of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT-4 to simulate distinct robot personalities through state-space realization, enhancing conversational dynamics and user experience. Notably, his memory robot design, inspired by the human brain’s working memory model and LLMs, introduces a novel architecture tested with 60 participants in visual memory tasks. Additionally, Lo addresses the critical challenge of deploying high-degree-of-freedom humanoid robots in real-world settings through a control barrier function-based whole-body control framework. His work is shaping the next generation of socially intelligent and physically capable robots.
