About
Algelia Burton is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction and healthcare technology, with a particular focus on understanding how people perceive and accept service robots in clinical settings. Her most cited paper, "A Brief Literature Review on Human Perceptions of Service Robots with a Focus on Healthcare" (2020), synthesizes early evidence on the critical role of user attitudes in shaping the adoption of robotic assistants—from hospital logistics to patient care. Though still early in her career, with 3 citations to date, this review has laid important groundwork for future studies on trust, usability, and social acceptance of robots in sensitive environments. Burton’s contribution is especially timely as healthcare systems increasingly turn to automation to address staffing shortages and improve efficiency. By highlighting the gap between technical capability and human readiness, she has helped frame a key research agenda: that successful integration of service robots depends as much on psychology as on engineering. Her work serves as a valuable starting point for students and researchers exploring the human dimensions of robotics in medicine.
