About
Roshan Thapliya’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, cognitive science, and experimental psychology, with a particular focus on how perspective shapes our understanding of robotic behavior. In his most cited work, “Evaluating Human-Robot Interaction from Inside and Outside,” Thapliya pioneered a methodological framework comparing first-person and third-party evaluations of robot performance. This study revealed critical discrepancies in how participants assess interaction quality depending on whether they are directly engaged with a robot or observing from an external vantage point—a finding that has implications for designing more intuitive and socially aware robotic systems. Though his citation count is modest, Thapliya’s contribution is notable for its conceptual rigor and its challenge to conventional evaluation metrics in HRI. His work has been presented at leading robotics conferences and has informed subsequent studies on embodied cognition and user experience design. Thapliya continues to explore how subjective and objective measures can be reconciled to improve robot learning and human trust in autonomous systems.
