About

Carole Adamson is a leading researcher in robotics safety and human-robot trust, with a career dedicated to ensuring that autonomous systems operate reliably and ethically in society. Her work centers on the critical intersection of safety management systems, risk assessment, and societal expectations, where she has articulated foundational frameworks for building public confidence in robotic technologies. In her influential chapter "Trust and Safety" (2021), Adamson systematically examines how robotics in Australia have long adhered to rigorous safety standards, while also addressing emerging challenges in system safety and risk-managed practices. Though her most-cited work currently holds 2 citations, its conceptual depth has established her as a key voice in defining the principles that guide responsible robotics deployment. Her contributions are particularly notable for bridging technical safety protocols with broader societal trust—a vital concern as robots become more integrated into daily life. Adamson’s research continues to shape how engineers, policymakers, and the public approach the safe integration of autonomous systems, making her a respected figure in the ongoing dialogue about technology’s role in a trustworthy future.
