About
Zihao Chi is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on enhancing human-robot interaction, particularly in the domain of mobile guide robots. His key research areas include human-robot interaction, robot motion design, and the development of socially aware autonomous systems. Chi’s most notable contribution is his study on the impact of vertical oscillation and looking-back motions in guide robots, demonstrating how subtle behavioral cues can significantly improve the perceived hospitality and effectiveness of robot-led navigation. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 4 citations, highlighting its relevance in the emerging field of socially assistive robotics. By systematically analyzing how robot motion patterns influence human comfort and trust, Chi provides actionable insights for designing more intuitive and welcoming robotic guides for public spaces. His research bridges the gap between engineering and social psychology, offering a framework for creating robots that are not only functional but also hospitable. Chi’s findings are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the intersection of robotics, human factors, and user experience design.
