About
Khaled Bachour is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social perception, exploring how people interpret and respond to anthropomorphic technologies. His most cited paper, "User perceptions of anthropomorphic robots as monitoring devices" (2013), has garnered 13 citations and remains a foundational contribution to understanding the psychological and social dynamics of robots in surveillance roles. Bachour’s research critically examines how design features—such as human-like appearance or behavior—influence user trust, comfort, and ethical concerns, particularly when robots are deployed as observers or monitors. This work has implications for the responsible development of assistive and service robots in public and private spaces. By foregrounding user perceptions, Bachour bridges technical design with social science, offering insights that inform both roboticists and policymakers. His contributions are especially relevant as robots become more integrated into daily life, raising questions about privacy, autonomy, and human-robot relationships. Bachour’s research continues to shape conversations on how to build machines that are not only functional but also socially acceptable.
