About
Sabine T. Koeszegi is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), social robotics, and the ethics of artificial intelligence. Her work fundamentally explores how humans perceive, trust, and collaborate with autonomous agents, particularly in sensitive domains like elderly care and the workplace. Koeszegi’s major contributions include developing the AMODAL-HRI communication model, which reframes robot interaction through established communication theory, and her pragmatic approach to the "intentional stance" in AI design, addressing how we ethically attribute agency to machines. Her highly cited 2020 study on "Attitudes Toward Attributed Agency" (50 citations) reveals a critical link between perceived control and negative attitudes toward robots, while her work on "Understandable and trustworthy explainable robots" (38 citations) provides a foundational sensemaking framework for non-expert users. Koeszegi has also advanced co-design methodologies, directly involving care home residents and workers in shaping robotic technologies (2024). With a portfolio spanning privacy risk mitigation in elderly care to the effect of robot interaction styles on self-efficacy, her research is essential for anyone studying how to build socially responsible, trustworthy, and effective robotic systems for real-world deployment.
