About
Rishab Goswami investigates the intersection of human-robot interaction and healthcare, focusing on how robotic empathy shapes patient trust and satisfaction. His most-cited work, a 2022 video study with 24 citations, examines the effects of healthcare robot empathy statements and head nodding on user perceptions. By drawing parallels between clinical empathy in physicians—known to improve outcomes—and robotic behaviors, Goswami explores whether verbal and non-verbal cues like head nodding can foster similar positive responses in human-robot interactions. This research contributes to the growing field of socially assistive robotics, addressing critical questions about designing machines that feel trustworthy and caring. Goswami’s work has implications for the future of healthcare delivery, where robots may support patient care. His findings highlight the nuanced role of empathy in technology, offering insights for engineers and clinicians alike. As a researcher, Goswami bridges psychology, robotics, and medicine, advancing our understanding of how machines can effectively communicate empathy in sensitive contexts.
