About

Salomi Aladia is a rising scholar in human-robot interaction (HRI) whose work critically examines the foundations of the field. Her research centers on two interconnected areas: replication science in HRI and moral judgments of robots. In her widely cited 2021 paper, "Challenges and Opportunities for Replication Science in HRI" (28 citations), Aladia led a three-study replication effort that systematically demonstrated the difficulties—and the necessity—of reproducing findings across different robotic platforms, establishing a framework for methodological rigor in the field. Her 2024 work, "People's judgments of humans and robots in a classic moral dilemma" (18 citations), explores how humans evaluate the actions of robots versus humans in ethical scenarios, contributing to the growing discourse on machine ethics and public trust. By tackling both the empirical reproducibility and the moral dimensions of HRI, Aladia is shaping how researchers design, validate, and interpret studies involving social robots. Her contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers seeking to build a more robust and ethically aware foundation for human-robot interaction science.
