About
Laetitia Tanqueray is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), socio-legal studies, and gender studies. Her work critically examines how social robots reflect and perpetuate societal norms, with a particular focus on gender fairness and caregiving contexts. In her highly cited 2022 paper, "Gender Fairness in Social Robotics," Tanqueray explores the potential of socially assistive robots to support diagnostic screening for peripartum depression, advocating for a gender-sensitive approach that challenges entrenched biases in Sweden’s healthcare systems. This work, with 16 citations, underscores her commitment to embedding equity into emerging technologies. Tanqueray’s theoretical contributions include co-developing a "socio-legal robotics" framework, which analyzes how adaptive technologies encode norms, as outlined in her 2023 paper (5 citations). She has also conducted ethnographic studies of HRI developers and, most recently, engaged directly with marginalized populations—such as young carers in Wales and England—to ensure their voices shape robotic design. By bridging law, sociology, and robotics, Tanqueray’s research not only exposes hidden biases but also charts a path toward more inclusive, socially aware autonomous systems.
