About
Dr. Isha Datey is a leading voice in the ethical design of social robotics, with a focused expertise in human-robot interaction (HRI) and participatory design methodologies. Her most-cited work, "Ethical Participatory Design of Social Robots Through Co-Construction of Participatory Design Protocols" (2023, 4 citations), pioneers a novel framework that moves beyond simply including users in the design process. Instead, Datey advocates for the co-construction of the design protocols themselves, ensuring that ethical considerations are embedded from the very first step. This contribution is critical in an era where social robots have immense potential for both positive and negative societal impact. By empowering anticipated users and stakeholders to shape not just the robot, but the rules of engagement for its creation, Datey is setting a new standard for responsible innovation. Her work is essential reading for any researcher or student seeking to build robots that are not only functional but fundamentally ethical and socially integrated.
