About
E. van de Sande is a researcher in human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on child-robot interaction and the design of communication systems that bridge the gap between natural language and machine understanding. Their most-cited work, "Using child-robot interaction to investigate the user acceptance of constrained and artificial languages" (2010, 4 citations), explores a critical yet often overlooked aspect of speech recognition technology: user acceptance. Rather than simply asking whether constrained or artificial languages can improve recognition accuracy, van de Sande investigates whether users—particularly children—are willing to adopt such forms of interaction. This work contributes to the broader fields of social robotics and human-computer interaction by highlighting the importance of user experience in the development of speech-based interfaces. While their citation count is modest, van de Sande’s research addresses a foundational question in the design of intuitive, child-friendly robotic systems, making it a valuable reference for scholars working on adaptive communication in human-robot interaction.
