About
Dr. Myriem Lafdili is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and social robotics, with a primary focus on how emotional expression in machines shapes human trust and cooperative behavior. Her most influential work, "The Emotional Dilemma: Influence of a Human-like Robot on Trust and Cooperation" (2023, 11 citations), tackles a critical paradox in robotics: while anthropomorphic designs can enhance trust, they also risk undermining cooperation depending on the task context. By systematically analyzing how robots that display emotions affect human decision-making, Dr. Lafdili has provided foundational insights into the nuanced, task-dependent relationship between robotic emotionality and user trust. Her research is pivotal for designing more effective, context-aware social robots for healthcare, education, and collaborative work environments. With her work already shaping debates in the field, Dr. Lafdili continues to explore how subtle behavioral cues can bridge or break the human-machine bond, making her a rising voice in the quest for truly trustworthy autonomous systems.
