About
Nadezhda Shlykova is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, sexual technology, and social psychology. Her work critically examines societal attitudes toward emerging intimate technologies, with a particular focus on sex robots—a field where empirical data remains scarce. In her landmark study, "Curiosity and other attitudes towards sex robots: Results of an online survey" (2021, 11 citations), Shlykova addressed this gap by systematically investigating public perceptions, revealing that curiosity, alongside a mix of fascination and apprehension, shapes responses to these technologies. This work stands as one of the few empirical contributions to a rapidly evolving discourse, highlighting both the potential benefits and risks of robotic intimacy for human relationships. By centering on under-researched attitudes, Shlykova provides foundational insights for ethicists, designers, and policymakers navigating the social implications of AI-driven companionship. Her research challenges assumptions and invites deeper inquiry into how humans might coexist with increasingly lifelike machines. For students and scholars exploring the future of intimacy and technology, Shlykova’s work offers a rare, data-driven window into a topic often dominated by speculation.
