About
Maximilian Schrapel is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction and intelligent transportation systems, with a particular focus on integrating social robots into traffic orchestration. His work addresses the critical challenge of how Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) can benefit from Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication technologies, which traditionally prioritize vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure exchanges. Schrapel’s major contribution lies in exploring the public’s perception and acceptance of social robots as traffic managers—an innovative approach that could enhance road safety and efficiency for pedestrians, cyclists, and other non-vehicle road users. His most-cited paper, a 2025 poster study titled “Preliminary Study - People’s Opinion on Social Robots for Traffic Orchestration,” has already garnered attention for its timely investigation into how humanoid or robotic agents might bridge the gap between advanced V2X systems and everyday road users. By examining societal attitudes toward this emerging technology, Schrapel provides foundational insights that could shape future urban mobility solutions. His work is particularly relevant as cities worldwide seek to integrate autonomous systems into public spaces, making his research both practically impactful and intellectually provocative for students and scholars in human-robot interaction, transportation engineering, and smart city design.
