About

Yinan Fei is a design researcher whose work bridges user-centered methodologies and robotic system innovation, with a particular focus on commercial cleaning technologies in the post-pandemic era. Their most-cited paper, "A Design Study on Commercial Cleaning Robots Based on Kano–QFD" (2024, 5 citations), addresses the critical intersection of public health safety and automated cleaning solutions. By integrating the Kano model with Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Fei developed a systematic framework for translating user needs into concrete design parameters for cleaning robots, directly responding to the heightened demand for sanitation in public spaces following the global pandemic. This work demonstrates Fei's ability to apply rigorous design research methods to solve real-world problems, offering a replicable approach for improving robotic usability and effectiveness. While their citation count is still growing, Fei's research represents an important step in human-robot interaction design, particularly in contexts where user acceptance and functional reliability are paramount. Their work contributes valuable insights for both product designers and engineers seeking to create more intuitive and socially responsive cleaning technologies.
