About
Sangmi Kim is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on the role of personality in shaping how people perceive and engage with robots. Her most-cited work, "A Review of Personality in Human–Robot Interactions" (81 citations), provides a critical synthesis of a fragmented field, identifying key gaps and laying the groundwork for a more coherent theoretical framework. Kim’s contributions go beyond review; she has been instrumental in advancing empirical methods to measure and model personality traits in both humans and robots, helping to explain why some interactions feel more natural or trustworthy than others. Her research has practical implications for designing socially assistive robots, educational agents, and collaborative machines that adapt to individual users. With a growing citation impact and a reputation for rigorous, interdisciplinary scholarship, Kim is shaping how the HRI community understands the psychological dimensions of human-robot relationships. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in making robots not just functional, but genuinely personable.
