About
Jessica Dippold’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, social integration, and gender studies. Her most-cited work, “Social Robots as a Means of Integration? an Explorative Acceptance Study considering Gender and Non-verbal Behaviour” (2018, 8 citations), pioneers a novel application of social robotics: using robots to teach culture- and gender-specific behaviors to migrants and refugees. This study critically examines how non-verbal cues and gender influence acceptance, offering early empirical insights into robots as tools for social cohesion—a pressing issue for European states. Dippold’s contribution is notable for bridging technical robotics with sensitive sociocultural challenges, highlighting how design choices can either reinforce or mitigate biases. Her work has been cited in discussions on inclusive technology and migration studies, marking her as a forward-thinking voice in socially assistive robotics. By tackling integration through embodied AI, Dippold opens new pathways for using robots not just as assistants, but as mediators of cultural learning.
