About

Gregor Pfajfar is a researcher whose work bridges the fields of human-robot interaction, bibliometrics, and technology adoption. His primary research areas focus on understanding public and scholarly engagement with emerging technologies, particularly social robots. Pfajfar’s most notable contribution is his comprehensive 2024 study, "Public and scholarly interest in social robots: An investigation through Google Trends, bibliometric analysis, and systematic literature review," which has already garnered 5 citations. This work uniquely combines three methodologies—Google Trends analysis, bibliometric mapping, and systematic review—to provide a holistic view of how both the general public and academic communities perceive and engage with social robotics. By identifying patterns in interest over time and across disciplines, Pfajfar offers critical insights for researchers and policymakers navigating the societal integration of robots. His interdisciplinary approach highlights the gap between public curiosity and scholarly focus, making his work essential for those studying technology acceptance and innovation diffusion. As a rising scholar, Pfajfar’s ability to synthesize large-scale data with qualitative trends positions him as a key voice in understanding the future of human-robot coexistence.
