About

N. Petkova is a forward-thinking researcher in human-robot interaction, whose work challenges conventional views of robotics as mere tools. Her most-cited paper, "Robot-Human Interaction" (2017, 7 citations), offers a compelling reflection on the evolving relationship between humans and machines. In this work, Petkova argues that as artificial intelligence advances, robots should no longer be seen simply as extensions of the human body, but as entities that demand a reexamination of interaction paradigms. This contribution is notable for its philosophical depth, pushing the field to consider the ethical and social implications of increasingly autonomous systems. While her citation count reflects a growing niche interest, Petkova’s ideas resonate with broader debates in AI ethics and human-centered design. Her work serves as a foundational piece for students and researchers exploring the future of collaborative robotics, urging a shift from tool-based thinking to a more nuanced understanding of partnership between human and machine.
