About

Xuejing Gu is a researcher in humanoid robotics, with a focused interest in emotional expression and human-robot interaction. Her work centers on developing robots capable of not only mimicking but also communicating human emotions, a key challenge in creating more natural and intuitive social robots. Gu’s most-cited paper, “Research Summarization of Humanoid Expression Robot with Emotion” (2011, 5 citations), provides a foundational overview of the field, synthesizing early theories and technologies behind emotional humanoid robots. She further advanced this area with her work on “Joint Attention for a Kind of Facial Expression Robots with the Same Structure” (2012, 2 citations), where she implemented a static vision-based joint attention skill. This contribution is significant as it directly addresses a core component of social cognition—the ability for a robot to share a focus of attention with a human user—thereby improving the quality of human-robot cooperation. While her citation counts reflect the niche and emerging nature of her research area, Gu’s work represents an important step in bridging the gap between robotic functionality and the nuanced, non-verbal cues essential for effective social interaction.
