About
Jonghak Bae is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on accessibility technologies for the Deaf community. His most notable contribution is the development of Bada, a social robot designed to bridge communication gaps for individuals who are deaf. Modeled after the behavior of hearing dogs, Bada resembles a robotic vacuum cleaner and uses visual and tactile signals—rather than sound—to alert users to abnormal circumstances at home, such as a ringing doorbell or a smoke alarm. This innovation directly addresses the critical problem of information loss in auditory-based alerts, ensuring that crucial notifications are delivered effectively. Bae’s work, highlighted in his 2021 paper "The Development of a Social Robot Accessible to the Deaf," has garnered attention for its practical, user-centered design. By reimagining the role of social robots beyond entertainment or companionship, Bae is advancing inclusive technology that empowers marginalized communities. His research stands as a testament to the power of robotics to create meaningful, real-world impact for diverse populations.
