About
Sean Banerjee is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), worker perception, and robotic manipulation. His research addresses some of the most pressing questions surrounding the integration of robots into human environments, spanning blue-collar workplaces, healthcare, and everyday life. Banerjee has made significant contributions to understanding how workers perceive safety, autonomy, and job security in collaborative human-robot settings, with studies examining how factors such as culture, gender, education, and geography shape these attitudes. His work on gender dynamics in HRI further highlights his commitment to inclusive, ethically grounded robotics research. On the technical side, Banerjee has advanced the field of human-robot handover through the development of the HOH dataset — a large-scale, markerless multimodal resource featuring 136 objects — and innovative VR-based annotation tools that streamline complex hand-object interaction labeling. His investigations into giver-receiver timing relationships and object handoff orientations provide critical insights for designing more natural, fluid robotic systems. With publications accumulating over 40 citations in just a few years, Banerjee's interdisciplinary approach — blending psychology, ethics, computer vision, and reinforcement learning — positions him as an emerging and impactful voice in human-centered robotics research.
