About
Thi Linh Chi Nguyen investigates the frontiers of human-robot interaction, focusing on how robots can become more intuitive and socially aware companions. Her core research explores personalisation—designing robots that adapt their dialogue and behavior to individual users, enabling more natural and engaging interactions. Her most-cited work, "The Impact of Personalisation on Human-Robot Interaction in Learning Scenarios" (2017, 66 citations), demonstrates that robots capable of modelling a user’s preferences can significantly enhance collaborative learning experiences. In a complementary study, "Hey robot, why don't you talk to me?" (2017, 16 citations), she showcases the Neuro-Inspired Companion (NICO) robot, which tracks users’ faces, remembers them, and initiates personalised conversations—blending computer vision, memory, and adaptive dialogue. Nguyen’s contributions are pivotal in moving robots beyond rigid, one-size-fits-all responses toward empathetic, user-centred interaction. Her work has clear implications for educational technology, assistive robotics, and social AI, laying groundwork for machines that truly understand and respond to the people they serve.
