About
Mengni Zhang is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on cross-cultural user preferences and the design of assistive multi-robot systems. Her work bridges robotics, psychology, and cultural studies, exploring how people from different backgrounds perceive and interact with non-humanoid robots in domestic settings. Zhang’s most cited paper, “How Many Robots Do You Want? A Cross-Cultural Exploration on User Preference and Perception of an Assistive Multi-Robot System” (2021), has garnered 4 citations—a notable achievement for a recent publication addressing an underexplored niche. In this study, she investigates cultural differences in user acceptance of multi-robot teams, challenging assumptions that robot design is universally applicable. Her contributions highlight the need for culturally adaptive robotics, offering insights for developers creating inclusive assistive technologies. Zhang’s work is particularly impactful for students and researchers interested in user-centered design, cross-cultural studies, and the future of home robotics. By emphasizing user perception and preference, she advances a more humanistic approach to technology, ensuring that robots are not only functional but also socially and culturally resonant.
