About
Dimitri Lacroix is an emerging researcher specializing in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on robot customization, psychological ownership, trust, personalization, and transparency. His work explores how users' involvement in shaping robotic systems influences their psychological and behavioral responses, offering valuable insights into the design of socially intelligent robots. Among his most notable contributions is his investigation into how customization fosters psychological ownership and trust toward robots — a line of inquiry that spans both physical and linguistic dimensions of robot design. His 2022 paper on this topic has already garnered 16 citations, establishing him as a meaningful voice in the field. Lacroix has also advanced theoretical frameworks around robot-to-user adaptation, arguing persuasively for user agency in shaping adaptive processes during HRI. Beyond customization, Lacroix has made strides in measuring robot transparency, addressing a critical gap in standardized assessment tools as robots become more embedded in everyday life. He has also contributed to broader scholarly conversations through his co-authored chapter on anthropomorphism in the prestigious *Cambridge Handbook of the Law, Policy, and Regulation for Human–Robot Interaction*. With a growing citation record and diverse research outputs, Lacroix represents a promising contributor to the future of socially aware robotics.
