About
Robin Vivian is a pioneering researcher in the field of human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on the social and psychological dimensions of assistive robotics. Her work centers on understanding how future users—particularly the elderly—perceive and accept anthropomorphic robots designed to support independent living at home. Vivian’s major contributions include the development and validation of a French-language scale for measuring attitudes toward anthropomorphic robots, a critical tool for assessing public perception and readiness for robotic integration into daily life. Her most cited paper, “Exploratory investigation of attitudes towards assistive robots for future users” (2014, 30 citations), provides foundational insights into the societal expectations and concerns surrounding assistive technologies. This work highlights the predicted surge in domestic robotics and underscores the importance of user-centered design. Vivian’s research is instrumental in bridging the gap between technological innovation and human acceptance, offering evidence-based guidance for developers and policymakers. Her achievements include pioneering cross-cultural studies on robot perception in France, contributing to a deeper understanding of how cultural context shapes human-robot relationships.
