About
Xiyu Guo is a rising researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, behavioral science, and sustainable consumption. Her work investigates how robotic companions influence human decision-making, particularly in the domain of food choices. In her most cited paper (2024, 9 citations), Guo demonstrated that a robot’s presence can shift women’s preferences toward more sustainable, vegetable-forward meals—a finding with implications for public health and AI design. Her follow-up study (2025, 5 citations) further revealed that the degree of anthropomorphism moderates this effect, showing that people are more likely to follow a robot’s lead when it appears more human-like. Guo also explores the neural underpinnings of human-robot relationships, using ERP methods to examine how people perceive inequity in solo versus joint interactions with robots (2026, 2 citations). Her work bridges social robotics, cognitive neuroscience, and environmental psychology, offering novel insights into how machines can nudge healthier, more ethical behaviors. As a young scholar, Guo’s research is already shaping conversations around the social influence of AI.
