About

J. Rogelio Guadarrama is a researcher focused on the critical intersection of human-robot interaction and trust dynamics. His work addresses a fundamental challenge in robotics: understanding what makes humans trust autonomous systems. His most-cited paper, "Factors Influencing Human Trust Towards Robots: A Scoping Review" (2025), synthesizes existing research to map the key variables—such as robot appearance, reliability, and transparency—that shape trust. This review serves as a foundational resource for engineers and psychologists alike, offering a structured framework to design more trustworthy robots. Although early in its citation trajectory, the paper’s timeliness and relevance to the rapidly growing field of social robotics signal its potential to influence future studies. Guadarrama’s contribution lies in bridging empirical findings with practical design guidelines, helping to ensure that robots are not only functional but also socially accepted. His work is particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring how to build ethical, user-centered autonomous systems. By clarifying the psychological and technical factors behind trust, Guadarrama is helping to shape a future where humans and robots collaborate more effectively and safely.
