About

Satoshi Shigemi is a prominent researcher at the intersection of humanoid robotics and human-robot interaction, best known for his contributions to Honda's groundbreaking ASIMO project. His most-cited work, "ASIMO and Humanoid Robot Research at Honda" (2018, 81 citations), reflects his central role in advancing one of the world's most recognized humanoid robot platforms. Beyond engineering, Shigemi has made distinctive contributions to the psychological dimensions of human-robot interaction. He developed validated psychological scales to quantify how people perceive and evaluate humanoids, exploring dimensions such as familiarity, humanness, and general impressions — work that has collectively garnered over 75 citations. Particularly notable is his investigation of *Anshin*, a culturally embedded Japanese concept of subjective well-being, which he applied to understand how users form emotional trust with robots. His large-scale empirical studies, involving thousands of Japanese participants across age groups, have illuminated how demographic factors shape robot perception. Additional research into nonverbal communication and social comparison with humanoids further broadens his impact. Shigemi's work uniquely bridges robotics engineering and social psychology, making him an influential figure for researchers designing robots intended for meaningful integration into human society.
