About
Amandine Mayima is a researcher specializing in human-robot interaction (HRI), social robotics, and the cognitive and psychological dimensions of collaborative human-robot systems. Her work sits at a compelling intersection of robotics, psychology, and philosophy, exploring how robots can engage in fluid, meaningful joint actions with humans in real-world environments. Mayima's most influential contribution, "Addressing Joint Action Challenges in HRI" (2021, 24 citations), draws on insights from psychology and philosophy to tackle fundamental obstacles in achieving natural human-robot collaboration. This theoretical grounding complements her practical work on the EU-funded MuMMER project (2019, 17 citations), where she contributed to developing a socially intelligent robot capable of interacting flexibly with users in public spaces like shopping malls. A distinctive thread running through her research is the question of interaction quality measurement — her work on enabling robots to assess in real-time how well an interaction is proceeding (2021, 14 citations; 2020, 6 citations) represents a significant step toward self-aware, adaptive robotic systems. She has also contributed methodological innovations through the Director Task framework for evaluating robot architectures. Her growing body of work on commitments and horizontal communication approaches signals an evolving vision for socially responsible and sustainable robotics.
