Bipin Indurkhya

Dr. Bipin Indurkhya is a Professor at the Jagiellonian University's Department of Cognitive Science within the Faculty of Philosophy. With a PhD in Computer Science, he has lectured globally and leads research projects in social robotics, affective computing, and creative interaction design.

• Master of Science in Electronic Engineering (Philips International Institute, 1981)
• PhD in Computer Science (University of Massachusetts, 1985)

His research focuses on:

• Social Robotics - child-robot interaction, elderly care, educational applications, and ethical considerations
• Multimodal Interaction - combining visual, auditory, and haptic modalities for enhanced user experience
• UX Design - participatory and co-design methodologies for technology development
• Affective Computing - haptic-based communication systems
• Creative Cognition - metaphor theory and its applications in technology design

Recent publications show strong emphasis on robot ethics, cross-cultural HRI studies, participatory design, and creative technologies. His work spans educational robotics, elderly care systems, and theoretical investigations into metaphorical cognition. Key scientific contributions include navigation architectures for autonomous robots, calm technology frameworks, and prosody modeling systems for artificial communication.
