About
Dr. Lisa Bidgood is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on the psychological and spatial dynamics of co-located human-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) systems. Her work addresses a critical gap in robotics: understanding how close autonomous drones can safely and comfortably operate near humans in shared environments. Through her landmark 2024 paper, "Mapping Safe Zones for Co-located Human-UAV Interaction," Dr. Bidgood systematically maps the boundaries of human comfort, revealing that proximity thresholds are shaped by factors like motion, noise, and perceived control. This research has already garnered early citations, signaling its foundational impact on designing socially-aware robotic systems for homes, workplaces, and public spaces. By integrating insights from psychology, engineering, and design, she is redefining safety not just as physical avoidance but as emotional and cognitive ease. Her work promises to guide the development of robots that coexist harmoniously with people, making her a rising voice in the field of human-centered robotics. Dr. Bidgood’s contributions are essential for anyone studying the future of human-robot cohabitation.
