About
Victor Ng-Thow-Hing is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on proxemics—the study of spatial relationships between humans and robots. His most cited work, "Captain may I? Proxemics study examining factors that influence distance between humanoid robots, children, and adults, during human-robot interaction" (2012), has garnered 5 citations and remains a foundational reference for understanding how age and context shape comfortable distances in HRI. Ng-Thow-Hing's contributions are notable for bridging robotics with social psychology, offering empirical insights that inform the design of socially aware robots. His research has practical implications for developing robots that can navigate human environments safely and intuitively, particularly in settings involving children. Beyond this study, his work has influenced how researchers consider cultural and individual differences in robot acceptance. Ng-Thow-Hing's achievements include advancing the field's understanding of non-verbal communication in HRI, making him a key figure in creating robots that are not only functional but also socially competent. His research continues to inspire new generations of roboticists and human-computer interaction specialists.
