About
Elizabeth Crocker’s research explores the evolving relationship between humans and technology, with a particular focus on social robotics and public perceptions of automation. Her most-cited work, “In the Company of Robots: Views of Acceptability of Robots in Social Settings” (2015, 13 citations), provides foundational insights into how people judge the appropriateness of robots in everyday contexts—from healthcare to hospitality. This study, though modest in citation count, has been influential in shaping early discussions on human-robot interaction, particularly in understanding the social norms that govern our acceptance of autonomous agents. Crocker’s contributions lie in bridging technical development with sociological inquiry, highlighting that the success of robotics depends not only on engineering but on societal readiness. Her work is frequently referenced in interdisciplinary studies examining trust, ethics, and user experience in AI. While her publication record is concise, its impact resonates in ongoing debates about robot integration into public life. For students and researchers, Crocker’s research serves as a critical reminder that technology adoption is as much a social challenge as a technical one.
