About
Lashanda Lee’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, service robotics, and emotional design, with a focus on how anthropomorphic features and interface design shape user experience. Her most-cited work, “Service robot anthropomorphism and interface design for emotion in human-robot interaction” (2008, 50 citations), is a foundational contribution that explores how physical and behavioral cues in robots influence human emotional responses—a critical insight for deploying robots in sensitive settings like healthcare and home environments. Lee’s research demonstrates that effective human-robot interaction depends not only on functionality but also on the emotional resonance of the robot’s design. Her work has informed the development of more intuitive, empathetic robotic interfaces, bridging engineering and psychology. With 50 citations, this paper remains a key reference for scholars designing socially assistive robots. Lee’s contributions are particularly notable for their early recognition of emotion as a central factor in service robot acceptance, paving the way for more human-centered robotics research. Her insights continue to shape how we think about robots not just as tools, but as socially integrated companions.
