About
Niklas Forchhammer investigates the intersection of human-robot interaction, virtual reality, and public transport systems. His research explores how robot design influences human compliance and emotional responses, particularly in autonomous transport environments where human contact persons are absent. In his highly cited 2022 study, Forchhammer demonstrated that robot appearance and behavior significantly affect passenger trust and willingness to follow instructions, using immersive VR simulations to replicate real-world transit scenarios. This work has garnered 19 citations and provides critical insights for designing socially acceptable robots capable of crowd management and guidance. By addressing the psychological and ergonomic challenges of deploying autonomous systems, Forchhammer’s contributions help shape the future of human-centered robotics in public spaces. His findings are essential for engineers and policymakers aiming to integrate robots into everyday environments while maintaining passenger comfort and safety.
