About
Morgan Dumitru is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of responsible robotics and human-robot interaction (HRI) methodology. Their work centers on developing ethical frameworks and innovative research methods to investigate hazardous interactions between humans and autonomous systems. Dumitru’s most notable contribution is the creation of the Virtual Witness Testimony Role-Play Interview, a novel approach that uses immersive role-play scenarios to safely explore high-risk HRI situations without exposing participants to real danger. This method, detailed in their 2021 paper "Role-Play as Responsible Robotics," has garnered attention for its potential to transform how researchers study accountability and ethical decision-making in robotics. By focusing on responsibility both as a research outcome and as an integral part of the research process itself, Dumitru challenges conventional approaches to robotics ethics. Though early in their career, with 2 citations on this foundational work, Dumitru’s methodological innovation represents a significant step toward more responsible and human-centered robotics research, offering a template for investigating complex ethical dilemmas in human-robot encounters.
