Child–robot interaction
This research explored if a social robot would play a role in facilitating the development of friendship between young children while they engage in playful learning. Grounded in child–robot interaction and child development literature, we instantiated four sessions of triadic interaction activities among two children and a robot, where the robot mediated the children’s collaborative interactions. There were two types of robot-mediated activities…

The Triangular Axes of Universal Health Coverage Achievement
Though it has passed over 30 years, Korea's community-based health insurance (CBHI) expansion can provide useful policy implications to developing countries with similar conditions, that is, lack of fiscal resources, health infrastructure, and medical resources to expand coverage to the informal sector. We summarized three groups of success factors through in-depth interviews and narrative analysis: system design, system operation, and public per…
Young children’s embodied interactions with a social robot
This study examined the affordances of an embodied humanoid robot to engage children in play and learning from the perspective of embodied cognition in two studies as part of multiyear design research. In Study One, we observed how the robot’s embodiment, accompanied by its sensors and movements, elicited embodied reactions of eleven children (aged 3 to 6) while they played and learned with the robot one-on-one at home and in school. Two distinct…
Designing for robot-mediated interaction among culturally and linguistically diverse children
This qualitative study explored the design and implementation of a humanoid social robot that mediated collaborative interactions among culturally and linguistically diverse kindergarten children in a US school. The robotic mediation was designed to help children have positive interactions with one another. The study was grounded in theories of childhood development, intercultural communication, and culturally responsive pedagogy. Design research…
