About

Andreas Oberweis is a leading researcher at the intersection of software engineering, robotics, and human-computer interaction, with a particular focus on automated testing and conversational systems. His most cited work, "Automated Testing of Mobile Applications Using a Robotic Arm" (2020, 23 citations), pioneers a novel approach to black-box testing by integrating robotic hardware to simulate real-world user interactions, ensuring flawless user experiences in mobile apps. Oberweis also explores the legal and administrative implications of automation, as seen in his paper on "Legal challenges of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) in administrative services" (2019, 13 citations), which critically examines compliance and governance issues. More recently, his systematic literature review "Language Cues for Expressing Artificial Personality" (2024, 6 citations) synthesizes interdisciplinary research on how verbal cues shape perceived personality in conversational agents, spanning chatbots, voicebots, and social robots. This work bridges AI and psychology, offering design insights for more engaging human-machine dialogue. With a career marked by cross-domain innovation—from robotic test automation to the ethics of RPA and the subtleties of artificial personality—Oberweis continues to shape how we build, test, and interact with intelligent systems.
