About

Ihab Abdelwahed’s research explores the intersection of human-robot interaction and generational psychology, focusing on how emerging technologies shape emotional responses. His most cited work, “Robotics and Generation Z - apprehension or attachment” (2020, 7 citations), investigates the dual emotional reactions of attachment and apprehension toward robotics among Generation Z. By examining how rapid technological change influences this cohort’s perceptions, Abdelwahed provides foundational insights into the psychological barriers and affinities that define early adoption of robotics. A second iteration of this study (2 citations) further validates his findings, reinforcing the importance of generational context in technology acceptance. His contributions are particularly valuable for designers, educators, and policymakers aiming to foster positive human-robot relationships. Through exploratory research grounded in real-world attitudes, Abdelwahed highlights the nuanced emotional landscape of a generation raised amid digital transformation. His work serves as a critical resource for understanding how attachment and apprehension coexist, shaping the future of robotics integration in society.
