About
Takumi Ninomiya has made foundational contributions to human-robot interaction, particularly in understanding how people perceive and form attitudes toward domestic robots. His most-cited work, the development of the Multi-dimensional Robot Attitude Scale (2015, 59 citations), systematically identified the key psychological constructs—such as anxiety, social acceptance, and perceived usefulness—that shape human responses to robots in everyday settings. By extracting elements from free descriptions, interviews, and existing literature, Ninomiya created a robust measurement tool that has become a reference for researchers studying technology adoption and social robotics. This scale enables more nuanced assessments of user attitudes, moving beyond simple like/dislike dichotomies to capture the complex, multi-faceted nature of human-robot relationships. His work bridges social psychology and robotics, offering practical insights for designing robots that are more warmly received in homes. Ninomiya’s research continues to influence studies on robot ethics, user experience, and the societal integration of autonomous systems, making him a key voice in understanding the human side of our robotic future.
