About
Dr. N. Durga Devi is a leading voice in the emerging field of human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on the psychological and communicative foundations of trust between humans and autonomous systems. Her most cited work, "Nurturing Trust in Human-Robot Interaction and the Crucial Role of Dialogue and Explicit AI" (2024, 5 citations), establishes a critical framework for understanding how transparent, dialogue-driven AI can bridge the gap between technological capability and human acceptance. Dr. Devi argues that as robots become integrated into daily life, explicit communication and explainable AI are not merely features but necessities for fostering reliable, long-term collaboration. Her research directly addresses the "black box" problem in robotics, advocating for systems that can articulate their reasoning and adapt to human social cues. By centering trust as a design principle rather than an afterthought, her work has significant implications for fields ranging from healthcare robotics to autonomous service systems. Dr. Devi’s contributions are paving the way for a future where human-robot partnerships are built on clarity, safety, and mutual understanding.
