About

Dr. Kuo-pao Yang is a dedicated educator and researcher in computer science and robotics, with a focus on human-robot interaction and STEM education outreach. His most cited work, "Robotics summer camps as a recruiting tool: a case study" (2014, 10 citations), documents a week-long Robotics and Computing Summer Camp at Southeastern Louisiana University, demonstrating how hands-on activities in computer science, engineering, and math can effectively attract and inspire future STEM students. This contribution highlights his commitment to broadening participation in computing. Dr. Yang also developed the "SelfieBot" (2019, 2 citations), a novel robot that uses a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and OpenCV to detect smiling faces, take photographs, and automatically post them to social media. This project showcases his ability to integrate computer vision, embedded systems, and robotics into engaging, real-world applications. Through his camp initiatives and creative robotic projects, Dr. Yang has made meaningful contributions to both educational practice and accessible robotics technology, inspiring students to explore the intersection of computing and engineering.
