About

Stephan Streuber’s research lies at the intersection of visual perception, motor control, and social interaction, with a particular focus on how visual appearance shapes human behavior in dynamic social contexts. His major contribution is demonstrating that the way we perceive others—through subtle cues like body shape or facial features—directly modulates our motor actions during real-time interactions, a finding that bridges cognitive science and robotics. This work, including his highly cited paper “Visual appearance modulates motor control in social interactions” (2020), has garnered over 100 citations, underscoring its influence in the fields of embodied cognition and human-robot interaction. Streuber’s research is pivotal for designing adaptive technologies that enable more natural human-machine collaboration, as it reveals the perceptual mechanisms that underpin intuitive social exchanges. His achievements include advancing our understanding of how social perception is not merely passive but actively shapes our physical engagement with the world, offering a framework for developing robots that can read and respond to human social cues. For students and researchers, Streuber’s work is a compelling example of how interdisciplinary approaches can unravel the complexities of human interaction and inform next-generation technology.
