About

Wei-Hsuan Chen is a researcher whose work bridges human-robot interaction, rehabilitation robotics, and the psychology of machine behavior. Chen’s most-cited paper, “A deceptive robot referee in a multiplayer gaming environment” (2011, 39 citations), explores a groundbreaking concept: designing a robot that deliberately deceives players to balance game outcomes, raising profound questions about trust, fairness, and ethical AI in social robotics. This work, along with the related “ShakeTime!” (2011), positions Chen as an early innovator in studying how robots can manipulate human perception in interactive settings. In rehabilitation engineering, Chen contributed “Interactive torque controller with electromyography intention prediction implemented on exoskeleton robot NTUH-II” (2017, 9 citations), which developed an exoskeleton that anticipates user movement intentions through muscle signals, aiding recovery for individuals with shoulder impairments. This work demonstrates a practical application of robotics to restore motor function. While Chen’s citation counts are modest, the deceptive robot study has influenced discussions on robot ethics and game design. Chen’s research uniquely combines technical control systems with behavioral experimentation, offering valuable insights for students interested in the social and rehabilitative dimensions of robotics.
