About

Jiahao Guo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, computational creativity, and tangible design. His work explores how robots can serve as collaborative partners in creative processes, particularly through co-creative sketching systems. In his highly cited paper "It Is Your Turn: Collaborative Ideation With a Co-Creative Robot through Sketch" (114 citations), Guo demonstrated how embodied robots can engage designers in early-stage ideation, moving beyond virtual agents to create more immersive and productive collaborative experiences. This work has significantly influenced the field of co-creative systems by showing that physical robots can enhance human creativity through turn-taking and shared sketching. Guo also contributed to sensor technology with his "Annular Planar-capacitive Tilt Sensor with a 360° Measurement Range" (51 citations), which improved inclination measurement for applications like crane booms. Additionally, his "ModBot: A Tangible and Modular Making Toolkit for Children to Create Underwater Robots" (7 citations) reflects his commitment to educational technology, enabling young learners to explore marine robotics through hands-on, modular design. Guo's interdisciplinary approach bridges engineering, design, and education, making him a notable figure in advancing human-robot collaboration and accessible making tools.
