About

Kiseul Suh investigates the intricate dynamics of human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on how people perceive and respond to social feedback from machines. In their highly influential work, "When the robot criticizes you..." (2011), Suh conducted a between-subjects experiment using the Wizard of Oz method with 63 participants, exploring how users react to positive, neutral, and negative evaluations from a robot. This study, which has garnered 32 citations, revealed critical insights into the psychological impact of robotic criticism, demonstrating that humans can experience emotional and behavioral responses similar to those in human-to-human feedback scenarios. Suh’s research bridges social psychology and robotics, shedding light on the design of more effective and empathetic robotic systems. By examining the nuances of machine-led evaluation, Suh has contributed foundational knowledge to the field of social robotics, informing how autonomous agents might be programmed to deliver feedback without causing user distress. Their work remains a key reference for scholars studying affective computing and the social implications of increasingly interactive technologies.
