About
Jordan A. Sasser investigates the psychological dynamics of human-robot interaction, with a focus on how individual differences shape perceptions of social presence and embodiment. In their most-cited work, "Investigation of Relationships Between Embodiment Perceptions and Perceived Social Presence in Human–Robot Interactions" (2024, 12 citations), Sasser explores how users’ sense of a robot’s physical form influences feelings of social connection—a critical question for designing more effective social robots. Their earlier study, "Trait Loneliness and Social Presence in Human-Human and Human-Robot Interaction" (2022, 1 citation), examines whether chronic loneliness diminishes the perceived social presence of robots, challenging the assumption that social robots can straightforwardly alleviate isolation. By bridging social psychology and robotics, Sasser’s research highlights the nuanced interplay between human traits and technological design, offering insights for developing robots that genuinely support emotional well-being. Their work contributes to a growing understanding that successful human-robot interaction depends not only on technical capabilities but also on users’ psychological states, making Sasser a thoughtful voice in the field of socially assistive robotics.
