About
Yuuki Seki is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on how users perceive and react to different forms of artificial agents. In their most-cited study, "Investigation of Users’ Reactions toward Various Kinds of Artificial Agents: Comparison of a Robotic Agent with an On-screen Agent" (2011), Seki conducted a pioneering comparative analysis that examined how people respond to physically embodied robots versus virtual on-screen agents. This work, which has garnered 3 citations, provides foundational insights into the psychological and behavioral differences in user engagement with these two agent types. By systematically evaluating user reactions, Seki’s research contributes to the design of more effective and intuitive interfaces for social robotics and digital assistants. Their findings are particularly valuable for developers seeking to optimize agent embodiment for specific tasks, such as education, customer service, or companionship. Through this focused investigation, Seki has helped clarify the nuanced ways in which physical presence influences trust, comfort, and interaction quality—a critical consideration as artificial agents become increasingly integrated into daily life.
