About
Dr. Didem Cicek is a leading researcher at the intersection of autonomous systems, urban logistics, and human-technology interaction. Her work critically examines how emerging technologies—particularly drones and sidewalk robots—can transform last-mile delivery while addressing pressing sustainability and urban congestion challenges. Her most-cited paper, a comparative review of user acceptance factors for these autonomous delivery technologies (2025, 7 citations), synthesizes key behavioral and infrastructural barriers to adoption, offering a roadmap for integrating these innovations into real-world urban environments. Beyond this, Dr. Cicek has contributed to understanding how customer expectations shape the deployment of autonomous systems, bridging gaps between technical feasibility and social acceptance. Her research is notable for its forward-looking, policy-relevant insights that help cities and companies navigate the complex trade-offs between efficiency, sustainability, and public trust. With a growing citation record and a focus on actionable frameworks, Dr. Cicek’s work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the future of urban mobility, autonomous logistics, and the human factors that will ultimately determine their success.
