About
S. Di Tomasso is a provocative voice in the emerging field of human-robot interaction, with a focused lens on the psychology of sex robots. Their most cited work, "Sex robots and personality: It is more about sex than robots" (2022, 24 citations), challenges prevailing assumptions by arguing that user interest in sex robots is driven more by sexual desire than by technological novelty or robot-specific traits. This contribution reframes debates around intimacy and artificial agents, suggesting that personality factors like sociosexuality and erotophilia—not just tech enthusiasm—predict engagement. Di Tomasso’s research bridges social psychology, sexology, and robotics ethics, offering a nuanced perspective that has quickly resonated with scholars studying the social implications of AI. While their citation count is modest, the work’s conceptual impact is significant, sparking discussion in both academic and public forums. Di Tomasso’s future trajectory promises to deepen our understanding of how human desires shape—and are shaped by—emerging technologies.
