About
Kuanhao Zheng is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a focus on designing and implementing teams of social robots for real-world interactions. His work addresses the critical challenge of supervisory control, exploring how a single human operator can effectively manage multiple social robots simultaneously. Zheng’s major contributions include developing models for operation timing, customer satisfaction, and robot-robot coordination in conversational settings, as well as studying the acceptable speed ranges for robots navigating among people while entertaining them through speech. His most cited paper, “Designing and Implementing a Human–Robot Team for Social Interactions” (44 citations), provides foundational insights into multi-robot control for dialog-based interactions. Zheng also ventured into brain-computer interfaces, co-authoring a study on SSVEP-based asynchronous control of a humanoid robot. With over 115 total citations across his key works, Zheng’s research has shaped the understanding of scalable, socially-aware robot teams, making him a notable figure in the advancement of practical, human-centered robotics.
