About
Dr. Emma Samuelsson is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the intersection of gender, communication, and social robotics. Her most-cited work, "He is not more persuasive than her" (2018, 15 citations), investigates how a robot's gendered voice and appearance influence its persuasive power, revealing that neither male nor female robot presentations inherently hold greater sway over human participants. This study challenges long-standing assumptions about gender and authority in technology, offering critical insights for designing more equitable and effective robotic systems. Samuelsson’s research has significant implications for fields ranging from artificial intelligence ethics to human-centered design, as it underscores the subtle ways social biases can be embedded in—and mitigated by—robotic interfaces. Her work is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and its contribution to understanding how humans perceive and interact with gendered technology. By bridging social psychology and robotics, Samuelsson continues to shape a more inclusive future for human-robot collaboration.
