About
Lina Kluy investigates the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and industrial psychology, focusing on how collaborative robots (cobots) can be designed for effective and trustworthy human partnerships. Her key research areas include human-robot collaboration (HRC), trust in automation, and the social implications of robotics for vulnerable populations. In her highly cited 2021 study, "Working with Industrial Cobots," Kluy demonstrated that a cobot's transparency and reliability are critical for shaping operator perception and trust—a foundational contribution to the design of safer, more intuitive industrial workspaces. This work, with 18 citations, provides empirical evidence for how robotic behavior directly influences human willingness to collaborate. Kluy also conducts impactful research on social robotics for older adults, as seen in her 2021 rapid review (14 citations), which maps the potential and challenges of using robots to mitigate social isolation and support relationships in aging populations. By bridging technical reliability with human social needs, Kluy’s work offers essential guidance for developing robots that are not only functional but also socially acceptable and supportive across both industrial and caregiving contexts.
