About
Liya Mai is a rising scholar at the intersection of human-robot interaction and design research, with a primary focus on social robot interaction design. Her most cited work, "Research Hotspots and Trends of Social Robot Interaction Design: A Bibliometric Analysis" (2023), has already garnered 32 citations, establishing her as a key voice in mapping the intellectual landscape of this rapidly evolving field. In this study, Mai systematically analyzed the current focus and future directions of social robot interaction design, addressing a critical gap in the literature by providing a data-driven, bibliometric perspective on how users accept and experience social robots. Her contribution lies in synthesizing fragmented research to highlight emerging trends, such as affective design and user-centered methodologies, which are essential for developing more intuitive and socially acceptable robots. By identifying core research hotspots, Mai’s work serves as a foundational roadmap for both new and established researchers seeking to navigate the complexities of designing robots that interact naturally with humans. Her early impact signals a promising trajectory in shaping how the field understands and advances the design of socially intelligent machines.
