Herin Haramoto is a researcher at the Royal College of Art, affiliated with the Intelligent Mobility Design Centre within the School of Design. She specializes in interaction design, focusing on creating meaningful connections between people, technology, and their environment through poetic and engaging experiences.
Haramoto's research explores the interplay between people and their environment, with a specific focus on mobility contexts. She investigates how AI and cutting-edge technologies can be leveraged to design sustainable and inclusive mobility experiences for the future. Her work often blends physical and digital elements to create sensory-rich, immersive experiences that engage multiple senses and emotions. She approaches design through empathy, prototyping diverse solutions, testing concepts, and iterating toward optimal designs. Her recent research interests have expanded to include the intersection of biology and emerging technologies, exploring how natural systems can inform innovative design approaches.
Her current research projects include AI design for autonomous mobility, a partnership with Aidlab in Hong Kong focused on the experiential aspects of Artificial Intelligence in Autonomous Vehicles. This project addresses public distrust of autonomous vehicles by designing for trust and acceptance, while also creating inclusive and joyful mobility experiences that encourage sustainable transportation choices.
