About
Jun San Kim is an emerging scholar in human-robot interaction, with a focused interest in the psychological and social factors that shape technology adoption. His research explores how design elements, such as a robot’s realistic appearance, intersect with user demographics—particularly gender—to influence consumer behavior. In his notable 2022 study, “Effects of Realistic Appearance and Consumer Gender on Pet Robot Adoption,” Kim investigates the nuanced ways aesthetic realism and user identity affect the acceptance of companion robots, contributing valuable insights to the fields of social robotics and consumer psychology. Though his work is still gaining traction, with this paper accumulating 1 citation to date, Kim’s research addresses a critical gap in understanding how non-functional, appearance-based features drive human-robot relationships. His findings have implications for designers and marketers aiming to create more inclusive and appealing robotic companions. As a researcher early in his career, Kim’s work signals a promising trajectory, blending empirical rigor with real-world relevance in the evolving landscape of human-robot interaction.
