About

Kasper Camillus Jeppesen is a robotics researcher whose work centers on human-robot interaction, social robotics, and modular robotic systems. His most notable contribution is the development of the SMOOTH-Robot, a modular, interactive service platform that combines affordability with remarkable versatility across diverse application domains. This work, published in 2021 with 16 citations, demonstrates the robot's potential through multiple use cases, showcasing how modular design can democratize access to advanced robotic capabilities. Jeppesen has also made significant contributions to socially-aware robot navigation, proposing an adaptable personal space model that considers hand positioning to determine appropriate social distances during human-robot approaches. This model, applied as a cost function in navigation systems, addresses the critical challenge of making robots' approach behaviors socially acceptable and comfortable for humans. His research bridges the gap between technical robotics and social intelligence, focusing on creating robots that can navigate human environments with both functional effectiveness and social grace. Through his work on modular platforms and socially adaptive behaviors, Jeppesen is helping shape a future where robots can integrate seamlessly into human spaces and daily activities.
