About
Anna Kryvous is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social perception, with a particular focus on how people form first impressions of social robots. Her work explores the subtle, often instantaneous judgments people make when encountering robots in both online and real-world settings. In her most-cited study, "What is in three words? Exploring a three-word methodology for assessing impressions of a social robot encounter online and in real life" (2019, 9 citations), Kryvous introduced a novel, free-response approach using the teleoperated Telenoid R1 robot. By asking participants to report the first three words that came to mind after seeing the robot, she triangulated qualitative data to reveal the rich, unfiltered conceptualizations people form during initial encounters. This methodological contribution offers a lightweight, ecologically valid tool for capturing user impressions without the bias of predefined scales. Kryvous’s work is significant for its emphasis on the immediacy and authenticity of human-robot interactions, providing valuable insights for designing robots that are more intuitively understood and accepted. Her research continues to shape how we evaluate social robot encounters in diverse contexts.
