About
Ross Harrison is a leading voice at the intersection of robotics, privacy, and human-data interaction. His research focuses on how personal robots can coexist with users’ fundamental right to privacy, a question he has pioneered through the lens of transparency and consent. In his most-cited work, “Toward privacy-sensitive human–robot interaction: Privacy terms and human–data interaction in the personal robot era” (2020), Harrison was the first to systematically examine how consumer robots communicate their data practices to users via privacy policies. This foundational paper, with 38 citations, lays critical groundwork for designing robots that respect user autonomy and data sovereignty. By bridging human-robot interaction with privacy law and policy, Harrison has helped define an emerging field that asks not just what robots can do, but what they should be allowed to know. His work is essential reading for researchers building ethical, trustworthy autonomous systems and for policymakers shaping the future of consumer robotics.
