About
Charlene K. Stokes is a prominent researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, social-emotional learning, and trust dynamics in human-technology relationships. Her work has made significant contributions to understanding how socially assistive robots can be leveraged in educational settings, particularly for developing children's emotional understanding and narrative skills. Her most-cited work, "Emotional Storytelling in the Classroom" (2015, 101 citations), investigates how robot-assisted interventions function across different interaction contexts, such as individual versus small-group settings, laying groundwork for more effective deployment of educational robotics. Stokes has also advanced the field's understanding of emotional intelligence in artificial agents, exploring human perceptions of robot emotionality (2017, 65 citations) and how interaction context shapes story recall and empathy in children. A recurring theme across her research is trust: she has examined how social interaction moderates trust-reliance relationships in human-robot teamwork and how physiological sensing influences user confidence in robotic systems. Her investigations into stress coping and non-technical skill integration further demonstrate her commitment to translating research into real-world applications. With over 295 cumulative citations, Stokes remains a vital voice in designing robots that are socially and emotionally responsive.
