About

Dr. Long Hu is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of cognitive robotics, affective computing, and edge AI. His work focuses on creating intelligent systems that can perceive, understand, and respond to human emotions, particularly in wearable and robotic platforms. Dr. Hu’s most influential contribution is the “iRobot-Factory” concept (161 citations), which integrates cognitive manufacturing with edge computing to enable real-time, intelligent automation. He is also the first to propose the “Wearable Affective Robot” (107 citations), a groundbreaking fusion of social robotics, brain-wearable interfaces, and Wearable 2.0 that brings emotional intelligence directly to the user’s body. His research extends to AI-enabled emotion communication (43 citations) and cognitive wearable robotics for autism perception enhancement (33 citations), demonstrating a deep commitment to using technology for social good. By pioneering the “Follow me Robot-Mind” cloud brain architecture and smart autonomous moving platforms, Dr. Hu is shaping a future where robots are not just tools, but empathetic, personalized companions that seamlessly migrate between devices and environments.
