About

Yuin Jeong is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on addressing social isolation through socially assistive robotics. Her most-cited work, "Fribo" (2018, 44 citations), introduces a novel social robot designed to alleviate loneliness among young adults living alone—a rapidly growing demographic. Rather than relying solely on one-to-one human-robot interaction, Jeong’s research emphasizes the robot’s role as a mediator for social connectedness, fostering communication and shared activities among users. This contribution has been influential in rethinking how robots can support mental well-being and community building in domestic settings. Jeong’s work bridges robotics, psychology, and human-centered design, offering practical solutions to modern social challenges. Her research is widely cited in studies on social robots for health and well-being, and she is recognized for advancing the understanding of how robots can facilitate meaningful social bonds. Through her innovative approach, Jeong continues to shape the future of socially interactive technologies, making her a key voice in the field.
