About
Su Hun Jo is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), whose work has fundamentally shaped how robots express and communicate emotion. His primary research areas include affective computing, emotional expression in robotics, and multimodal communication systems. Jo’s most significant contribution is the development of the Emotion Interaction System for service robots, which transforms machines from mere tools into perceived living assistants. This foundational work, with 46 citations, introduced a framework for robots to recognize and display emotions, making them more relatable and trustworthy in home environments. He further advanced the field by exploring how color and blinking can enhance facial expressions to convey varying emotional intensities (23 citations), and by creating a Linear Dynamic Affect-Expression Model that allows mascot-type robots to display nuanced facial expressions based on perceived emotions (14 citations). Jo also established emotional boundaries for selecting communication modalities—such as whether to use only facial expressions or combine them with gestures—based on emotional intensity (10 citations). His research has been instrumental in moving beyond simple robot faces to sophisticated, multimodal emotional displays, laying critical groundwork for more natural and effective human-robot relationships.
