About

Seongmi Jeong is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a focused interest in the sociotechnical dynamics of collaborative workplaces. Her work critically examines how gender influences collaboration between humans and robots, particularly in industrial settings. Her most cited paper, "Women and Men Collaborating with Robots on Assembly Lines" (2015, 4 citations), introduces an original scenario design specifically crafted to explore gender-related issues in human-robot teams. This methodology addresses a significant gap in HRI research, which has historically overlooked gender as a variable in collaborative robotics. By grounding her approach in the need for greater gender awareness, Jeong’s work lays essential groundwork for designing more inclusive and effective human-robot teams. Her contributions are notable for challenging assumptions about robot interaction and advocating for diverse perspectives in technology design. While her citation count is modest, her research is foundational for scholars interested in equity, collaboration, and the social implications of automation. Jeong’s work is a vital resource for students and researchers seeking to understand how gender shapes—and is shaped by—emerging robotic technologies.
