About
Nahyeong Kim is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on assistive technologies for individuals with disabilities. Her work centers on the development and evaluation of meal-assistance robots (MARs), where she has pioneered comprehensive design guidelines that integrate human-machine social interactions into user experience assessments. Her most cited paper (2022, 21 citations) addresses the critical gap in evaluation frameworks for MARs, proposing a systematic approach to assess how these robots can better support users who require assistance with feeding. This contribution is foundational for improving the quality of life for people with disabilities and the elderly, ensuring that assistive robots are not only functional but also socially engaging and user-friendly. Kim's research bridges engineering, design, and social sciences, offering practical tools for developers and caregivers. Her work has been recognized for its potential to transform assistive technology, making her a notable voice in the field of socially assistive robotics.
