About

Miyoung Cho is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a focused expertise on developing and evaluating social robots for elderly care. Her work addresses the critical social challenge of an aging population, particularly the loneliness and depression exacerbated by the pandemic. Cho’s major contributions include the design of integrated human-care robot systems and the introduction of novel evaluation frameworks, such as the "Social Robot Intelligence Quotient (SRIQ)," a metric to quantify HRI performance across five key dimensions. Her most cited work (7 citations) experimentally validates these robot services for older adults, demonstrating real-world utility. She has also advanced adaptive HRI by integrating large language models (LLMs) to create dynamic, responsive survey systems for care programs. Her research on "Uncertainty-Resolving Questions" explores how robots can proactively seek information, while her real-world validation studies confirm the stability of daily activity detection for seniors. With a growing citation record, Cho is establishing herself as a key innovator in assistive robotics, directly bridging the gap between AI technology and compassionate, practical care for the elderly.
