About
Fabien Ruggieri’s research sits at the intersection of experimental psychology, human–robot interaction, and cognitive science. His work explores how robots can serve as tools to investigate fundamental biases in human reasoning and decision-making, particularly by introducing a social dimension into controlled experiments. In his most cited paper, “Use a robot to serve experimental psychology: Some examples of methods with children and adults” (2016, 16 citations), Ruggieri demonstrates how to select and deploy robots to study well-known cognitive biases from a fresh, socially interactive perspective. This methodological contribution provides a practical framework for researchers seeking to integrate robotic platforms into psychological studies, bridging the gap between engineering and behavioral science. By showing that robots can act as neutral yet socially salient stimuli, Ruggieri opens new avenues for exploring how social presence—even from a machine—shapes human judgment. His work is particularly valuable for researchers in developmental psychology, human–robot interaction, and experimental design, offering a replicable approach to studying biases in both children and adults. Ruggieri’s contributions highlight the untapped potential of robots as versatile instruments in the psychologist’s toolkit.
