About
Mihai Abrudean is an emerging researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on developing intuitive, real-world applications for social robotics. His most-cited work, "Developing an application based on the interaction between humans and the Pepper robot" (2021), has garnered 3 citations and lays essential groundwork for structuring how humans and robots communicate. In this study, Abrudean addresses the growing need for a clear taxonomy to compare the diverse forms of interaction emerging as robots move from industrial settings into service and social environments. By centering his research on the widely-used Pepper robot, he explores the practical challenges of creating seamless, natural interfaces that enable non-expert users to collaborate effectively with autonomous machines. His contributions are particularly valuable for students and developers seeking to design applications that bridge the gap between technical robotics and everyday human needs. Though early in his career, Abrudean’s work signals a critical shift toward making social robots more accessible, predictable, and useful—a foundation upon which future human-robot collaboration will be built.
