About
Marco C. Rozendaal’s research lies at the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), human-robot interaction (HRI), and design, with a focus on creating meaningful, agentive technologies that integrate seamlessly into everyday life. His most influential work, “Objects with Intent” (2019, 60 citations), introduces a paradigm where everyday artifacts become intelligent agents, leveraging their inherent meaning to foster intuitive interactions—a foundational contribution to the field of embodied AI. Rozendaal’s impact extends to applied HRI, as seen in his design guidelines for robot communication in dairy farming (2024, 6 citations) and his innovative use of theater professionals to enact human-robot encounters on a mixed reality stage (2024, 10 citations), bridging theory and practice. He also addresses pressing societal challenges, developing design strategies to promote young children’s physical activity through playscapes (2020, 6 citations) and exploring spherical robots for home-based activity promotion (2025, 1 citation). His recent work on expressive movements for restaurant service robots (2025, 3 citations) further demonstrates his commitment to designing robots that are not only functional but also socially graceful. Rozendaal’s research is notable for its interdisciplinary creativity, blending design, psychology, and performance to shape the future of human-robot collaboration.
