About
Paris Myers is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics, gender studies, and human-robot interaction. Her most-cited work, "Women Are Funny: Influence of Apparent Gender and Embodiment in Robot Comedy" (2021, 8 citations), challenges entrenched stereotypes by demonstrating how a robot’s perceived gender and physical form shape audience reception of humor. This study not only advances the design of socially aware robots but also interrogates the cultural biases embedded in artificial intelligence. Myers’ research has been instrumental in rethinking how robots can perform traditionally human-coded roles, such as comedy, to foster more inclusive and engaging interactions. Her work has garnered attention for its creative methodology and its implications for both robotics and feminist technology studies. By bridging performance theory with engineering, Myers continues to push the boundaries of what robots can do—and how we perceive them—making her a vital voice in the evolving dialogue on gender, embodiment, and AI.
