4. Human-Agent Interaction (New 2026 NRF Project)

  • We received a 5-year research grant from NRF in 2026, in which we will develop a novel interaction framework for Human-Agent Interaction.
  • Human AI interaction is rapidly evolving from LLM-based applications to Agent-based ecosystems.
  • We explore how human and agents can collaborate to create a better future.
  • Main research topics include:
    • Design of Tangible Agent interfaces and interaction
    • Embodied Human-Agent Interaction
    • Enhancing UI/UX of Human-Agent Interaction for Web, Mobile, XR environments
    • Multi-User Multi-Agent Interaction
    • … and your ideas!
