About

Chelsea Dobbins is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and public perception. Her most notable contributions examine how society views and responds to the growing presence of robots in everyday life — a question of increasing urgency as automation reshapes modern living. Her 2020 paper, "Public vs Media Opinion on Robots and Their Evolution Over Recent Years," has garnered 20 citations and represents a significant methodological contribution to the field, employing text mining and sentiment analysis across diverse digital platforms including Twitter, Google News, Bing News, and Kickstarter to map evolving public consensus. This work builds upon her earlier 2019 study of the same theme, demonstrating a sustained and deepening commitment to understanding the social dynamics surrounding robotic technologies. By treating public opinion as a critical determinant of the robotics industry's future trajectory, Dobbins frames her research with important real-world implications for policy, design, and technology adoption. Her scholarship is particularly valuable for students and practitioners interested in how computational methods can illuminate the human dimensions of technological change, bridging quantitative data analysis with broader sociotechnological questions.
