About
L.G. Vuurpijl is a cognitive scientist whose research bridges human–machine interaction, sense of agency, and attribution of responsibility. His most-cited work, “Using games to investigate sense of agency and attribution of responsibility” (2014, 10 citations), explores how individuals assign blame and credit in shared-control scenarios—such as robotic surgery failures—where responsibility is ambiguous. By designing experimental games, Vuurpijl systematically examines the psychological mechanisms underlying agency judgments, offering critical insights for the development of autonomous systems and human–robot collaboration. His contributions are particularly relevant to ethics in artificial intelligence and human factors engineering, helping to clarify how people perceive control and accountability when technology mediates action. Though his citation count is modest, the conceptual depth of his work has influenced discussions on moral responsibility in human–machine teams. Vuurpijl’s research stands out for its innovative use of game-based paradigms to probe complex cognitive phenomena, making his findings valuable for students and researchers interested in the intersection of psychology, robotics, and ethics. His work continues to inform debates on how to design transparent, trustworthy autonomous systems.
