About

Alexandros Rotsidis is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, specializing in making autonomous systems more transparent and understandable. His work addresses a critical challenge: as robots become embedded in everyday life, their decision-making processes often remain opaque to both developers and end users. Rotsidis’s major contribution lies in leveraging mobile augmented reality (AR) as an accessible, low-cost tool to visualize robot intentions, states, and reasoning in real time. His most cited paper, “Improving Robot Transparency: An Investigation With Mobile Augmented Reality” (2019, 20 citations), demonstrates how smartphone-based AR can bridge the gap between complex robotic intelligence and human comprehension. A follow-up study, “Robots That Make Sense: Transparent Intelligence Through Augmented Reality” (2019, 3 citations), further explores how AR overlays can render robot behavior intuitive and trustworthy. By focusing on affordability and ease of use, Rotsidis’s research paves the way for broader public acceptance of collaborative robots. His work is particularly notable for its practical, user-centered approach, offering a scalable solution to one of robotics’ most pressing social and technical hurdles.
