About
Xinfeng Lin is a leading researcher in service robotics and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the psychological and design dimensions of anthropomorphism. Their most-cited work, "Service robots’ anthropomorphism: dimensions, factors and internal relationships" (2022, 43 citations), provides a foundational framework for understanding how human-like features in service robots influence user perception and acceptance. Lin’s research systematically deconstructs anthropomorphism into measurable dimensions, identifies key design and contextual factors that shape it, and maps the complex relationships between these elements. This contribution is critical for engineers and designers aiming to create more effective and trustworthy service robots in hospitality, healthcare, and retail settings. By bridging theoretical psychology with applied robotics, Lin’s work has informed both academic discourse and practical design guidelines. Their ongoing research continues to explore how subtle variations in robot appearance, behavior, and social cues affect human emotional and cognitive responses, positioning them as a key voice in the rapidly evolving field of social robotics.
