About
Aditi Verma is a leading voice in the ethics of human-robot interaction (HRI), where her work critically examines how social robots can either perpetuate or dismantle systemic inequities. Her landmark review, “Ethics, Equity, & Justice in Human-Robot Interaction” (2022, 41 citations), provides a foundational framework for the field, urging researchers to move beyond technical functionality toward a justice-oriented design that accounts for race, class, gender, and disability. This work has become a key reference for scholars and practitioners seeking to embed intersectional ethics into robotics. Verma’s broader research agenda interrogates the societal impacts of emerging technologies, challenging the assumption that robots are neutral tools. By centering marginalized perspectives, she has shaped a new wave of critical HRI scholarship that prioritizes equity over efficiency. Her contributions have been recognized through invited talks and interdisciplinary collaborations, positioning her as a vital thinker at the nexus of technology, ethics, and social justice. For students and researchers, Verma’s work is an essential guide to building a future where robots serve all people fairly.
