About
Dr. Nanami Hashimoto is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the social perception and acceptability of quadruped robots. Her work bridges robotics and psychology, exploring how design and behavior influence human trust and comfort. Her most-cited paper, "Safe Spot: Exploring perceived safety of dominant vs submissive quadruped robots" (2024, 7 citations), is a pioneering study that investigates how behavioral traits—dominant versus submissive—affect perceived safety and social acceptance of these machines. This work addresses a critical gap in robotics research, moving beyond technical capabilities to understand the nuanced social dynamics between humans and robots. Dr. Hashimoto’s contributions are foundational for developing robots that are not only functional but also socially harmonious, with implications for public spaces, healthcare, and domestic settings. Her research has been recognized for its interdisciplinary approach, and she continues to shape the future of socially aware robotics.
