About
Lennon Kulke is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on the emerging challenges of autonomous mobile delivery robots in public spaces. Their key research area centers on designing and evaluating external user interfaces (eUI) that facilitate safe and intuitive communication between robots and pedestrians. Kulke’s major contribution lies in empirically investigating how people perceive and interact with delivery robots on sidewalks, providing critical insights into the design of non-verbal cues—such as lights, sounds, and motion patterns—that can signal a robot’s intent. This work directly addresses the growing need for socially acceptable automation in crowded urban environments. Though their most-cited paper, "Pedestrian-Robot Interaction on Sidewalks: External User Interfaces for Mobile Delivery Robots" (2024), has garnered 3 citations, its early impact is notable for establishing foundational design principles in a rapidly evolving field. Kulke’s research is essential reading for students and engineers working on human-centered robotics, offering a clear framework for creating robots that are not only functional but also trusted and welcomed by the communities they serve.
