About
Rui Ogawa is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social psychology, best known for investigating how people develop trust in communication robots. In their highly influential 2019 work, Ogawa proposed a phased model of trust development in social robots, drawing on established theories of interpersonal trust from social psychology. This model, which has garnered 7 citations, represents a foundational contribution to understanding the nuanced, stage-based process by which humans come to trust robotic companions. Ogawa’s research uniquely explores the role of individual differences, particularly self-esteem, in shaping trust dynamics, offering critical insights for designing more effective and socially accepted robots. By bridging psychological theory with robotics, Ogawa has helped lay the groundwork for more natural and trustworthy human-robot relationships. Their work is essential reading for students and researchers in social robotics, human-robot interaction, and applied social psychology, providing a clear framework for studying trust as a developmental process rather than a binary state.
