About
Tiong Chee Tay is a researcher whose work explores the critical intersection of social context and human-robot interaction (HRI). His primary research areas focus on understanding how environmental and social factors shape user experiences with robots, particularly among vulnerable populations like older adults. Tay’s most influential work, “The role of social context in human-robot interaction” (2012, 7 citations), addresses a fundamental challenge in HRI: experimentally studying how the co-existence of humans and robots is mediated by contextual dynamics. He further advances this line of inquiry in “Effect of scenario media on elder adults' evaluation of human-robot interaction” (2012, 3 citations), where he investigates how different media formats—such as videos or text—affect older adults’ attitudes toward robots. This work is notable for its methodological innovation, emphasizing the need to leverage rich contextual information when designing HRI studies. Though his citation counts are modest, Tay’s contributions are foundational for researchers seeking to design more ecologically valid experiments and develop socially aware robots. His focus on elder adults highlights a socially impactful dimension, ensuring that robotic technologies are evaluated with real-world users in mind.
