About

Amin Majdi is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on the critical role of trust in autonomous systems. His work primarily investigates how humans develop and maintain trust in drones and assistive robots, especially when these technologies fail. Majdi’s major contribution lies in empirically dissecting the factors that erode human trust, such as drone type and the nature of the failure—whether algorithmic or communication-based. His most cited paper, "Human Trust After Drone Failure" (2023, 10 citations), is foundational in this area, establishing a framework for understanding trust dynamics in increasingly autonomous aerial systems. He further pushes the boundaries of this research by questioning the validity of simulation-based studies, as seen in his 2024 work comparing trust in simulated versus real drone failures. Additionally, Majdi is exploring the generalizability of assistive robot models, seeking to create more robust and adaptable systems that can perform effectively across diverse tasks without requiring impractical amounts of data. His work is vital for designing safe, reliable, and trustworthy autonomous partners for the future.
