CROS2025 - Plenary Session 2 - Kerstin Haring

As intelligent systems take on increasingly social and assistive roles, how we design robots—and how users experience them—has never been more important. In this keynote, Dr. Kerstin S. Haring shares research at the intersection of cognitive and socially intelligent human-robot interaction, ethics, and trust. Her work explores how robot embodiment, behavior, and narrative identity influence human expectations, trust formation, and long-term acceptance. Drawing from over a decade of interdisciplinary research, Dr. Haring will discuss the importance of ethically grounded, user-centered design principles in shaping interactions that are not only functional, but also meaningful. This talk will offer insights into the future of human-centered automation, highlighting challenges and opportunities in building robots that people can understand, relate to, and trust. 🎙️ Novo na transmissão ou querendo melhorar?
