About
Kexue Fu is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, specializing in how robotic movement shapes human perception and collaboration. Their work bridges robotics, design, and the performing arts, with a focus on expressive, socially-aware machines. Fu’s major contribution lies in investigating how non-anthropomorphic robots—such as mobile furniture and industrial arms—can communicate intent and emotion through choreographed motion. In their highly-cited 2024 study, “Sit on me please,” Fu used video prototyping to show that furniture robots can influence user behavior and expressiveness, earning 7 citations for its novel approach to ambient robotics. More recently, in 2025, Fu explored collaborative dance improvisation, demonstrating how dancers co-create movements with robotic arms, redefining creativity in human-machine partnerships. This work, though nascent, signals a significant shift in designing for embodied interaction. Fu’s research is notable for its interdisciplinary methodology, combining empirical studies with artistic practice, and has implications for assistive technologies, interactive art, and social robotics. Their findings challenge assumptions about robot form and function, offering new pathways for intuitive, expressive human-robot relationships.
