About
Juliane Klann is a researcher at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on how biological and social factors shape our perception of robotic agents. Her work investigates the critical question of anthropomorphism—specifically, whether humans perceive actions differently when performed by anthropomorphic digital models versus non-anthropomorphic machines like gantry robots. In her most-cited study (2022, 5 citations), Klann demonstrated that the biological sex of an observer can significantly influence how robotic actions are interpreted, challenging assumptions about universal perception in human-robot interaction. This foundational work has implications for designing more intuitive and socially aware robots in healthcare, rehabilitation, and industrial settings. By bridging sex-based cognitive differences with robotic design, Klann contributes to a more inclusive understanding of how humans relate to machines—a vital step as robots become increasingly embedded in daily life. Her research offers a nuanced perspective on the psychology of human-robot collaboration, making her a notable voice in this emerging field.
