About
S. Chauhan’s research bridges two fascinating domains: social perception and tactile sensing for robotics and prosthetics. In their highly cited work, Chauhan explores how humans are exquisitely tuned to detect agents among non-agents, revealing that our perceptual systems are uniquely sensitive to behavioral cues signaling intentionality—a finding with 59 citations that has shaped debates in cognitive science and human-robot interaction. Complementing this, Chauhan has made critical contributions to haptic technology, investigating how the thickness of artificial skin affects subsurface pressure profiles on flat, curved, and Braille surfaces. This 2014 study, cited 22 times, provides foundational insights for designing more realistic tactile sensors in robotic and prosthetic hands, where soft synthetic materials protect delicate sensors while enabling nuanced touch. By linking the psychology of agency detection with the engineering of artificial touch, Chauhan’s work offers a rare interdisciplinary perspective—helping machines not only feel the world but also understand the minds that move within it.
