About
Sungchul Lee investigates the intersection of child development, social robotics, and computational thinking, with a focus on how interactive technologies can shape early learning and social behaviors. His most cited work, "Child–robot interaction: designing robot mediation to facilitate friendship behaviors" (2023, 26 citations), demonstrates a novel approach to using social robots as mediators in triadic play activities, grounded in developmental psychology and human-robot interaction frameworks. This research shows how robots can scaffold friendship formation among young children during playful learning, offering new pathways for designing educational technologies that support social-emotional growth. Lee also contributes to emerging methods for assessing young children's computational thinking through mixed-reality environments, a 2023 study that bridges tangible interaction and digital assessment. His work is notable for integrating theoretical insights from child development with practical robot design, producing evidence that robots can serve as more than tutors—they can facilitate peer relationships. With growing recognition in child-robot interaction and early childhood education, Lee’s research is shaping how we understand technology’s role in fostering both cognitive and social skills in young learners.
