About

Xing Geng is a researcher in human-robot interaction and telepresence, with a focus on designing embodied systems that enhance social connectedness in remote collaboration. Their most-cited work, "Robotic Table and Bench Enhance Mirror Type Social Telepresence" (2017, 5 citations), explores how mirror-type videoconferencing—where participants see mirrored reflections of themselves and their partner—can be augmented with robotic furniture to foster a stronger sense of togetherness. By integrating a robotic table and bench that physically mirror movements, Geng demonstrates how subtle haptic and spatial cues can bridge the gap between physical and digital presence, making remote interactions feel more natural and co-located. This contribution sits at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and social psychology, offering practical insights for designing telepresence systems that go beyond traditional screen-based communication. While their citation count reflects an emerging career, Geng’s work is notable for its innovative approach to blending physical embodiment with virtual connection, paving the way for more immersive and emotionally resonant remote collaboration tools. Their research is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in the future of work, social robotics, and the design of empathetic technology.
