About
Emil Bonnerup’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and user experience, with a particular focus on how people subjectively perceive and engage with social robots in real-world settings. His most cited work, a 2018 field study conducted at Aalborg Airport, stands as a pioneering contribution to understanding HRI in public, everyday environments. By eliciting 23 distinct attributes from Danish travellers interacting with a remotely controlled Double robot, Bonnerup provided a nuanced framework for evaluating the emotional and cognitive dimensions of human-robot encounters—moving beyond technical performance to capture the richness of lived experience. This study, with 8 citations, has informed subsequent research on social robot deployment in transit hubs and service contexts. Bonnerup’s work is notable for its methodological rigor, combining naturalistic observation with subjective reporting, and for highlighting the importance of context in shaping user perceptions. His findings offer valuable insights for designers and engineers aiming to create more intuitive, acceptable social robots, and underscore the critical role of field studies in advancing HRI beyond laboratory settings.
