About
Su-Hang Yang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of educational technology, human-robot interaction, and situated learning. Her work centers on integrating robots and digital platforms into classrooms to create authentic, interactive learning environments that boost student engagement and performance. Yang’s major contributions include developing the “Digital Learning Playground,” a dual-screen system that merges vertical and horizontal projections to simulate real-world contexts for task-based learning, and designing interactive robots that serve as classroom hosts or ventriloquist dolls to facilitate self-dialogue and audience participation. Her most cited paper (2022, 81 citations) demonstrates how robots with immediate feedback mechanisms improve learning outcomes in situated classrooms. She has also explored pet-like robot models using interdependence theory to sustain long-term student-robot relationships, with recent work on digital twins of pet robots (2024) showing promising effects on ownership and self-efficacy. With over 150 citations across her top papers, Yang’s innovative, human-centered designs are shaping the future of educational robotics and digital learning theaters.
