About
Julien Charles-Nicolas investigates the intersection of human-robot interaction, cooperative game theory, and behavioral ethics, with a focus on how autonomous agents influence human decision-making in social dilemmas. His most cited work, "Walk the Talk! Exploring (Mis)Alignment of Words and Deeds by Robotic Teammates in a Public Goods Game" (2019), examines the critical role of consistency between a robot’s verbal promises and its actions in fostering cooperation. Through a user study involving the custom-designed game “For The Record,” Charles-Nicolas demonstrates that robotic teammates can either enhance or undermine collaborative behavior depending on their alignment of words and deeds. This research offers foundational insights for designing trustworthy autonomous systems in team settings. With 4 citations, the paper stands as a notable contribution to the emerging field of robot ethics and human-robot collaboration. Charles-Nicolas’s work is particularly relevant for students and researchers interested in the social dynamics of human-robot teams, providing a compelling framework for understanding how perceived hypocrisy in machines impacts human trust and cooperation.
