About
Dayle David is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social psychology, whose work critically examines how people perceive, accept, and integrate social robots into daily life. Her key research areas include the acceptability of social robots, anthropomorphism, and the ethical implications of robotic companionship. David’s major contribution is a comprehensive scoping review on the acceptability of social robots, which has garnered 108 citations and serves as a foundational resource for understanding the factors that drive or hinder robot adoption. She also developed and validated the Social Robot Anthropomorphism Scale (SRA) in a French sample—a pioneering psychometric tool that allows researchers to systematically measure how human-like qualities are attributed to robots. Her recent work, published in French, offers a timely reflection on the psychological, social, and ethical stakes of robot integration, addressing both the benefits and potential risks. Through her rigorous empirical and conceptual contributions, Dayle David is shaping how scholars and designers approach the human-centered design and deployment of social robotics.
