About

Jiayi Lyu is a researcher focused on human-robot interaction, particularly the challenge of making mobile robots more socially acceptable in public spaces. Lyu’s key contributions center on developing intuitive communication methods that help people understand a robot’s intended actions, reducing discomfort during encounters. In their most-cited work, “Previous Announcement Method Using 3D CG Face Interface for Mobile Robot” (2020, 7 citations), Lyu introduced a novel approach where a robot uses a 3D computer-generated face to visually announce its upcoming operations, bridging the gap between mechanical appearance and human expectations. This was further refined in “Mobile Robot with Previous Announcement of Upcoming Operation Using Face Interface” (2019, 6 citations), which demonstrated how pre-emptive verbal and visual cues can ease anxiety in people unfamiliar with robots. Though Lyu’s citation counts are modest, their work addresses a critical bottleneck in robotics: the psychological barrier to coexistence. By prioritizing intuitive, face-based interfaces, Lyu has laid groundwork for more seamless human-robot collaboration in crowded environments, making their research a valuable reference for students and engineers designing socially aware autonomous systems.
