About

Kateryna Tarasenko’s research lies at the intersection of human communication, embodied cognition, and human-robot interaction, with a focus on how robots can serve as knowledge media. Her most-cited work, “A Two-Layered Approach to Communicative Artifacts” (2007), proposes a framework for understanding how artifacts—including robots—mediate communication through both physical and symbolic layers, offering a novel lens for designing more intuitive human-machine interfaces. This paper has garnered 3 citations, reflecting its niche but foundational role in shaping discussions on artifact-mediated interaction. In her earlier study, “Toward Robots as Embodied Knowledge Media” (2006), Tarasenko explores how robots can function as dynamic, embodied repositories of knowledge, capable of conveying information through physical presence and movement rather than just verbal or visual cues. Though her citation counts are modest, her work is notable for its conceptual originality, bridging robotics with communication theory and embodied cognition. Tarasenko’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in the philosophical and design challenges of creating robots that communicate naturally and meaningfully with humans, challenging conventional views of knowledge transmission.
