About
Naoki Kodani is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the social dynamics of android avatars. His work explores how non-verbal cues, such as gestures, shape human perceptions of robotic lecturers, a critical area for integrating robots into real-world educational and professional settings. Kodani’s most cited study, "Effects of Gestures and Negative Attitudes on Impressions of Lecturing Robots" (2024), demonstrates that while gestures can enhance a robot’s perceived engagement, pre-existing negative attitudes among users significantly dampen these positive effects. This finding offers essential guidance for designing more effective and socially acceptable robotic communicators. Though early in his career, with his work already garnering citations, Kodani’s research has been presented at conferences, highlighting its relevance to the growing field of android-mediated communication. His contributions are pivotal for anyone seeking to understand the subtle interplay between human bias and robotic design in the quest for seamless human-robot collaboration.
