About
Linda Miller is a human-robot interaction researcher whose work sits at the intersection of social psychology, trust, and emerging robotic technologies. Her scholarship primarily investigates how people perceive, accept, and build relationships with service robots in everyday environments — from domestic spaces to public settings. Miller's most influential contributions center on unpacking the layered nature of trust in human-robot interaction: her 2021 paper exploring trust layers, user dispositions, and state anxiety has garnered 87 citations, while her companion study on small talk, gaze behavior, and dialog design attracted 82 citations — together establishing her as a leading voice in understanding the psychological prerequisites for successful robot adoption. Her 2023 integrated trustworthiness beliefs model further advances robot acceptance theory beyond simple usability frameworks, synthesizing beliefs and trust into a unified predictive model. Miller's research spans both theoretical and applied dimensions, including fieldwork on autonomous cleaning robots in public spaces and studies of human expectations around robot politeness and conflict behavior. Her 2022 work on back-support exoskeletons in construction demonstrates a broader interest in human-technology ergonomics. With nearly 250 cumulative citations across seven years, Miller's research provides vital guidance for designers and policymakers preparing society for an increasingly robot-integrated future.
