Research summary
AI-generated

Waki Kamino studies how people live with and relate to social robots and artificial intelligence in everyday settings. The work examines topics such as what happens when a consumer robot company shuts down, how communities keep robots working, and how automated systems (like baseball's robot umpire) change decision-making. Much of the research uses ethnographic and design-oriented methods to understand the social and cultural dimensions of technology.
