About

Satragni Sarkar is a researcher working at the intersection of human-robot interaction and trust dynamics, with a particular focus on understanding the psychological and experiential factors that shape how humans perceive and collaborate with robotic systems. Sarkar's most notable contribution, "Effects of Faults, Experience, and Personality on Trust in a Robot Co-Worker" (2017), has garnered 23 citations and represents a meaningful advance in the field of trustworthy robot design. This work investigates the multifaceted determinants of human trust in robotic co-workers, examining how individual characteristics such as personality traits and prior experience with robots influence trust formation, alongside variables like robot reliability, physical design, and performance under varying task conditions. By exploring how trust shifts when robots commit faults or operate under time pressure, Sarkar's research provides valuable guidance for engineers and designers seeking to build robots that humans can comfortably and confidently work alongside. This work is particularly relevant as collaborative robots become increasingly prevalent in workplace environments, making Sarkar's insights into the human side of human-robot teaming both timely and practically significant for researchers and practitioners in robotics, cognitive science, and organizational behavior.
