About
Yeonkyung Eom is a pioneering researcher in educational robotics and inclusive learning technologies, with a primary focus on developing assistive systems for students facing long-term absence due to medical conditions. Her most influential work introduces a class participation support system that leverages an avatar robot, enabling hospitalized children to remotely attend and engage in real-time classroom activities. This innovative approach not only provides absent students with critical access to educational content but also fosters social presence and peer interaction, addressing both academic and emotional needs. Eom’s research has garnered attention for its practical impact, with her foundational paper accumulating citations that underscore its relevance to special education and human-robot interaction. Her contributions represent a meaningful step toward equitable education, demonstrating how technology can bridge gaps for vulnerable learners. Through this work, Eom has established herself as a key voice in the intersection of robotics and inclusive pedagogy, inspiring further exploration into adaptive learning environments that prioritize student well-being and participation.
