About
Karyne Ang is a leading researcher at the forefront of human-robot teaming (HRT) and sociotechnical systems (STS) design, with a particular focus on transforming the construction industry. Her work fundamentally challenges the purely technical view of robotics, advocating instead for an integrated, human-centered approach that recognizes the complex interdependencies between people, technology, and organizational structures. Ang’s major contributions include developing new STS principles specifically adapted for HRTs, as detailed in her highly cited 2025 paper (12 citations), and demonstrating their real-world application through a compelling case study on construction automation (10 citations). She has also advanced the theoretical foundations of the field by synthesizing Levin’s technology transfer theories with STS frameworks, and by proposing a comprehensive organizational lifecycle for deploying intelligent robotics from lab to field. Her technical expertise extends to developing novel algorithms, such as a 3D vector field and gaze data fusion framework for predicting hand motion intentions, enhancing safety and collaboration in human-robot interaction. With a growing body of work that bridges theory and practice, Karyne Ang is shaping the future of how we design, develop, and deploy collaborative robotic systems.
