About
Astrid Oehme is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on the methodological validity of experimental settings. Her most cited work, "Virtual reality check: a comparison of virtual reality, screen-based, and real world settings as research methods for HRI" (2023, 11 citations), addresses a critical question in the field: whether robots are perceived and experienced similarly in virtual reality (VR), screen-based (SB) environments, and the physical world. This study is foundational for researchers seeking cost-effective yet reliable experimental paradigms. Oehme’s contributions help bridge the gap between simulated and real-world HRI, ensuring that findings from digital platforms are transferable to tangible human-robot interactions. Her work is particularly impactful for students and researchers designing studies that balance ecological validity with practical constraints. By systematically comparing these settings, Oehme provides essential guidelines for the HRI community, enabling more efficient and accurate experimentation. Her research underscores the importance of methodological rigor in emerging technologies, making her a key figure in advancing how we study and understand human-robot relationships.
