About
Kouichi Iwami is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on how people subjectively experience and evaluate interactions with social robots and dialogue systems. His work bridges the gap between objective performance metrics and the nuanced, qualitative judgments that define successful human-robot engagement. In his most cited work, "VR and GUI based Human-Robot Interaction Behavior Collection for Modeling the Subjective Evaluation of the Interaction Quality," Iwami addresses the critical challenge of formulating evaluation criteria for the Quality of Human-Robot Interaction (QoHRI). By leveraging virtual reality and graphical user interfaces to collect interaction behaviors, he develops methods to model subjective evaluations—traditionally captured through questionnaires—in a more systematic and scalable way. This contribution is foundational for improving the design of socially intelligent robots that can adapt to human expectations. With 3 citations on this key paper, Iwami’s research is gaining traction among scholars working to make HRI evaluation more rigorous and human-centered, positioning him as an emerging voice in the field of interactive robotics.
