About
Dr. Romi Gideoni investigates the intersection of human-robot interaction and social psychology, focusing on how robotic failures affect human trust and acceptance. Her seminal 2022 paper, "Is It Personal? The Impact of Personally Relevant Robotic Failures (PeRFs) on Humans' Trust, Likeability, and Willingness to Use the Robot," has garnered 24 citations, establishing her as a key voice in understanding the nuanced emotional responses users have when robots err in contextually significant ways. Gideoni’s work reveals that not all failures are equal—personally relevant mistakes can deeply erode trust and likability, reshaping how we design socially aware robots. Her research bridges cognitive science and robotics, offering practical insights for developing more resilient, user-centered autonomous systems. By highlighting the psychological stakes of robotic errors, Gideoni’s contributions are vital for engineers and ethicists alike, ensuring future robots are not only functional but emotionally intelligent. Her findings are increasingly cited in studies on trust repair and human-robot relationships, marking her as a rising scholar in this dynamic field.
