About

Dmitry Dereshev is a researcher specializing in human-robot interaction, social robotics, and technology acceptance, with a particular focus on how everyday users perceive and relate to socially enabled domestic robots. His work sits at the intersection of user experience research and emerging consumer technology, addressing a critical gap between ambitious visions of a robotic future and the practical realities of bringing social robots into people's homes. Dereshev's most influential contribution, "Long-Term Value of Social Robots through the Eyes of Expert Users" (2019, 28 citations), examines how sustained engagement with social robots shapes user perceptions of their value — a perspective often overlooked in short-term laboratory studies. His earlier work, "Form, Function and Etiquette" (2017, 13 citations), explored potential users' expectations around social interaction with domestic robots, helping to ground speculative design in genuine human needs. His 2018 paper further interrogated why companion robots frequently fail in the marketplace despite widespread enthusiasm, interrogating technology acceptance frameworks through a consumer lens. Collectively, Dereshev's research offers valuable insight for designers, developers, and policymakers navigating the complex social and commercial landscape of robotics, making his work essential reading for anyone interested in the future of human-robot relationships.
