About
Andreea Elena Potinteu is a rising researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), focusing on the psychological and social factors that shape prosocial behavior toward robots. Her work explores how knowledge, attitudes, anthropomorphic cues—such as eye contact—and the context of use influence people’s willingness to help robotic agents. In her most-cited paper (2023, 4 citations), she provides foundational insights into the role of these variables across delivery, medical, and service contexts. Potinteu has also innovatively applied the dictator game paradigm to study third-person perspectives on resource sharing with robots, examining whether people favor sharing electricity over money (2025, 2 citations). Her lab-based research on perceived eye contact (2024, 2 citations) reveals how subtle non-verbal cues can significantly impact helping behavior. By bridging social psychology and robotics, Potinteu’s contributions are critical for designing robots that integrate smoothly into human environments, with implications for assistive technology, public acceptance, and ethical AI design. Her work is already shaping how researchers understand the dynamics of human-robot cooperation.
