About
Stefan Larsson is a pioneering socio-legal scholar whose work critically examines the intersection of law, social norms, and emerging technologies, particularly social robotics and AI. His research focuses on how adaptive technologies reflect, reproduce, or challenge societal biases, with a strong emphasis on gender fairness and inclusivity. Larsson’s major contributions include developing a theoretical framework for “socio-legal robotics,” which analyzes how norms embedded in human-robot interaction (HRI) design can inadvertently perpetuate sexism and stereotyping. His most cited work (16 citations) explores the use of socially assistive robots for peripartum depression screening, advocating for gender-sensitive approaches in healthcare robotics. He has also conducted ethnographic studies of HRI developers and participatory research with young carers, highlighting underrepresented voices in technology design. Larsson’s interdisciplinary approach—bridging sociology of law, data feminism, and HRI—has been recognized for its originality and social relevance, making him a key voice in responsible AI development. His work is essential reading for researchers and students interested in ethical, inclusive, and legally informed robotics.
