About

Vinciane LePaih is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of consumer behavior, social Internet of Things (IoT), and human-robot interaction. Her work explores how smart, connected devices—particularly kitchen robots—reshape social dynamics and perceived value within online communities. LePaih’s most cited study, "Consumers’ perceived value of Social IoT based online community: investigating social awareness processes surrounding smart kitchen robot appliances" (2023), examines how users’ social awareness and community engagement influence their acceptance and valuation of intelligent appliances. This research, presented to an international audience, has already garnered 3 citations, signaling growing interest in her nuanced approach to technology adoption. By integrating theories of perceived value with emerging IoT ecosystems, LePaih sheds light on the subtle social processes that drive consumer trust and satisfaction in smart home environments. Her work is particularly relevant for scholars studying the human side of ubiquitous computing, offering practical insights for designers and marketers aiming to foster meaningful user communities around connected products. As the field of Social IoT expands, LePaih’s contributions promise to shape how we understand the social fabric woven by our increasingly intelligent appliances.
