About
Dr. Marc Fraile is a leading voice in the ethics and design of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on Socially Assistive Robotics (SAR). His research navigates the critical intersection of high-level ethical principles and tangible design practice, aiming to build robots that are not only functional but also trustworthy. In his most-cited work, a 2023 case study, Fraile operationalizes abstract guidelines on transparency and anthropomorphisation, translating them into concrete design choices for a real-world SAR application. Through a rigorous online study, he demonstrates how these principles can be applied to foster appropriate user trust and mitigate risks of deception. This contribution, which has already garnered 11 citations, is pivotal for moving ethical HRI from theory into practice. Fraile’s work is essential reading for students and researchers grappling with how to responsibly design the next generation of assistive technologies, ensuring they are both effective and ethically sound.
