About
Dr. Shariff Lutfi investigates the psychological and social dimensions of human-robot interaction, focusing on how people perceive and accept domestic robots. His most-cited work, “What are people's associations of domestic robots?: Comparing implicit and explicit measures” (2016, 20 citations), makes a pivotal contribution by revealing that robot acceptability depends not just on practical benefits, but on complex cognitive, affective, and emotional components of people’s associations and attitudes. This research highlights the critical gap between what people consciously report and their deeper, often unconscious, feelings toward robots. By pioneering the use of both implicit and explicit measures in this domain, Dr. Lutfi has provided a more nuanced framework for understanding user acceptance, directly informing the design of more socially acceptable robotic technologies. His work underscores that successful domestic robotics must address not only functionality but also the intricate emotional landscape of human-robot relationships.
