About
Darya Filatova’s research lies at the compelling intersection of experimental psychology, human-robot interaction, and cognitive science, with a particular focus on how social robots can be used to study human reasoning and decision-making biases. Her most cited work, “Use a robot to serve experimental psychology: Some examples of methods with children and adults” (2016, 16 citations), pioneers a methodological framework for deploying robots as precise, replicable social stimuli in psychological experiments. Rather than treating robots merely as engineering tools, Filatova demonstrates how they can serve as controlled agents to investigate classic cognitive biases—such as conformity or framing effects—from a fresh, socially interactive perspective. This approach allows researchers to isolate social variables with unprecedented rigor, bridging the gap between robotics and behavioral science. Her contributions are particularly notable for offering practical guidance on selecting and programming robots for diverse participant populations, from children to adults. Though her citation count is still growing, Filatova’s work is foundational for a new generation of studies that use embodied artificial agents to probe the fundamental mechanisms of human social cognition, making her a key figure in the emerging field of robo-psychology.
