About

Soojin Woo is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, specializing in non-verbal communication and intuitive interface design for robotic systems. Her work centers on bridging the gap between human expressiveness and robotic responsiveness, with a particular focus on quadruped robots. In her most-cited paper, "Non-verbal Interaction and Interface with a Quadruped Robot Using Body and Hand Gestures: Design and User Experience Evaluation" (2025), Woo explores how natural gestures—such as hand signals and body movements—can replace traditional controllers, making robot interaction more accessible and fluid. This research, which has already garnered early citations, demonstrates her commitment to user-centered design and real-world usability. Woo’s contributions are significant in advancing the field of social robotics, where seamless, non-verbal communication is key to integrating robots into daily life. Her work not only enhances user experience but also lays the groundwork for more empathetic and responsive robotic systems. As a rising scholar, Woo’s innovative approach to gesture-based interfaces positions her as a promising voice in the next generation of human-robot collaboration.
