Mario Arias-Oliva

About

Mario Arias-Oliva is a leading researcher at the intersection of technology acceptance and consumer behavior, with a primary focus on the adoption of robotic systems in healthcare and education. His work critically examines how potential patients and the general public perceive and accept surgical robots (SRs)—a perspective often overlooked in favor of healthcare workers. In a 2022 study (10 citations), he assessed factors influencing attitudes toward SRs among a Jordanian university community, employing both correlational and configurational analyses to reveal key drivers of acceptance. Earlier, in 2020 (6 citations), he addressed a gap in empirical evidence by studying robot acceptance in educational settings using a technology acceptance model. His 2024 work (5 citations) further explores consumer acceptance of robotic surgeons in health services, emphasizing the seamless integration of robotics into daily life. Arias-Oliva’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between technological innovation and user readiness, offering actionable insights for developers and policymakers. His research, grounded in robust methodological frameworks, has significant implications for the future of service robots in high-stakes environments, making him a key voice in the discourse on human-robot interaction.
