About
Miku Kawai is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of computational creativity, narrative generation, and human-robot interaction, with a distinctive focus on themes of love, sexuality, and cultural storytelling. Her most cited work, "Toward love and sex narrative generation using a noun conceptual dictionary" (2021, 4 citations), introduces a system that leverages a noun conceptual dictionary to automatically generate stories exploring intimate human themes—a contribution with potential applications in nursing care and socially assistive robotics. Building on this, her paper "Prototyping narrative representation system using a Kabuki dance and legendary story for the narration function of robots" (2021, 3 citations) uniquely integrates traditional Japanese performing arts, specifically the kabuki dance *Kyōganoko Musume Dōjōji* and the legend of Dōjōji, to develop a narrative representation system that enables robots to convey complex, culturally rich stories. By bridging ancient folklore with modern AI, Kawai’s work advances the field of affective computing and demonstrates how robots can engage users through emotionally resonant, culturally embedded narratives. Her research not only pushes the boundaries of automated storytelling but also opens new avenues for robots in therapeutic, educational, and companionship roles.
