About
Riko Hasegawa is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction and cognitive science, with a particular focus on how people perceive and respond to autonomous agents. Her key research areas include animacy perception—the human tendency to attribute lifelike qualities to non-living entities—and the behavioral effects of these perceptions across different age groups. Hasegawa’s most cited paper, "Animacy perception of agents: Their effects on users behavior and variability between age groups" (2015, 4 citations), provides foundational insights into how robot embodiments can shape user interactions in complex systems. By examining the psychological processes underlying these dynamics, she has contributed to a deeper understanding of how to design more effective and intuitive human-robot interfaces. Her work is particularly notable for highlighting age-related variability, suggesting that user responses to autonomous agents are not uniform but depend on developmental and experiential factors. Though her citation count is modest, Hasegawa’s research offers valuable groundwork for scholars exploring the social and cognitive dimensions of robotics, making her a thoughtful contributor to the evolving field of human-agent interaction.
