About
Xing‐Guo Zhang is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise on the psychological and perceptual factors that shape trust between humans and social robots. His work centers on the critical role of anthropomorphic design, particularly how subtle visual cues—such as the eye design of social robots—influence a user’s sense of reliability and emotional connection. In his highly regarded 2022 study, "The Trusted Listener," Zhang demonstrated that the anthropomorphic features of a robot’s eyes are not merely aesthetic but are fundamental to building natural, trustworthy partnerships. This paper, which has garnered 16 citations, has become a key reference for designers and engineers seeking to create more intuitive and accepted robotic companions. By bridging cognitive psychology with robotics engineering, Zhang’s contributions are helping to define the next generation of socially intelligent machines, ensuring they are not only functional but also emotionally resonant. His work is essential reading for students and researchers exploring the future of human-robot coexistence.
