About

Joshua D. Kopp is a researcher whose work explores the intersection of human-robot interaction, technology acceptance, and the social implications of automation. His most-cited study, "Who Would Let a Robot Take Care of Them? – Gender and Age Differences" (2020), with 3 citations, investigates how demographic factors shape people’s willingness to trust robots in caregiving roles—a critical issue as robotic systems become more integrated into healthcare and daily life. This work highlights Kopp’s focus on understanding the nuanced, human-centered barriers to technology adoption, particularly among older adults and different genders. By examining these differences, Kopp contributes to designing more inclusive and ethically sound robotic systems that align with diverse user needs. His research is foundational for students and scholars interested in the social dynamics of emerging technologies, offering insights into how age and gender influence perceptions of robotic care. Kopp’s work underscores the importance of considering human variability in the development of autonomous systems, making him a key voice in the ongoing dialogue about the future of human-robot relationships.
