About

Naveen Shamsudhin is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, bioengineering, and human-robot interaction, with a focus on addressing pressing societal challenges. His work spans two key areas: deploying robotic systems for public health crises and critically examining the ethical dimensions of social robotics. Shamsudhin’s most cited contribution, "Progress in robotics for combating infectious diseases" (2021, 114 citations), is a landmark review that systematically maps how robotics can mitigate risks during pandemics like COVID-19—from disinfection and telemedicine to logistics—highlighting both technological opportunities and implementation hurdles. This work has become a foundational reference for researchers and policymakers seeking to integrate robotics into epidemic response. In parallel, his paper "Social Robots and Dark Patterns" (2021, 17 citations) pioneers a critical analysis of manipulative design in human-robot interaction, exposing how persuasive features can cross into deception. By bridging engineering and ethics, Shamsudhin’s research not only advances practical robotics solutions but also fosters responsible innovation, making him a distinctive voice in shaping how robots serve humanity during crises and in everyday life.
