About
Dr. Sehoon Kim is a leading scholar in human resource development (HRD) and human–robot interaction (HRI), whose work critically examines the evolving dynamics between humans and collaborative robots in the workplace. His most-cited paper, "Working With Robots: Human Resource Development Considerations in Human–Robot Interaction" (2022, 86 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding how robotic technology transforms, rather than diminishes, human roles. By adopting a human-centered perspective, Kim argues that HRI demands new, high-level responsibilities for workers—such as oversight, ethical decision-making, and adaptive learning—rather than mere task replacement. This contribution has been instrumental in shifting HRD discourse from a technology-centric view to one that prioritizes human capability and well-being. Dr. Kim’s work is particularly notable for bridging the gap between engineering-focused robotics research and organizational development, offering actionable insights for training, job design, and policy. His research has been widely cited by scholars in management, engineering, and vocational psychology, underscoring its interdisciplinary impact. Through his publications, Dr. Kim continues to shape how organizations prepare their workforce for an increasingly automated future, making him a pivotal voice in the future of work.
