About
Dr. Suomiya Bao is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and psychological safety, with a primary focus on the design and perception of autonomous delivery systems. Her most-cited work, "Shape parameters of UGV delivery robots that affect subject's perception of safety" (2022, 3 citations), represents a foundational contribution to understanding how the physical form of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) influences public comfort and trust. By systematically analyzing shape parameters, Dr. Bao bridges the gap between technical safety standards and subjective human experience, demonstrating that perceived safety is as critical as functional safety in the adoption of last-mile delivery technologies. This research has direct implications for industrial design guidelines, helping engineers create robots that are not only safe by regulation but also intuitively reassuring to pedestrians. Though her citation count is still growing, Dr. Bao’s work is notable for its interdisciplinary approach, merging psychology, robotics, and design. Her findings are increasingly referenced in studies on autonomous vehicle acceptance and urban robotics, positioning her as an emerging voice in the ethical and human-centered deployment of delivery robots.
