About

Tom Gedeon is a multidisciplinary researcher whose work spans human-computer interaction, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science, with particular emphasis on understanding and measuring human responses to technology. His research explores how humans perceive and interact with intelligent systems, including social robots, making meaningful contributions to the emerging field of human-robot interaction. In his notable 2022 study, "Evaluating Human Impressions of an Initiative-taking Robot," Gedeon and colleagues investigated how robot initiative-taking behavior influences human acceptance and impression formation — a critical design consideration as social robots become increasingly integrated into everyday environments. This work, which has already accumulated 6 citations since publication, reflects his broader commitment to bridging technological capability with human-centered design principles. Gedeon's research agenda consistently prioritizes understanding the psychological and perceptual dimensions of human engagement with technology, offering frameworks that help designers and engineers create systems that are not only functional but genuinely accepted by their users. His contributions provide valuable guidance for researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of AI, robotics, and human behavior, making his profile essential reading for those navigating these rapidly evolving fields.
