About

Emy Arts is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a specialized focus on the dynamics of trust between humans and autonomous systems. Her work centers on developing innovative, immersive methodologies to measure and understand how trust is built, broken, and repaired in cooperative human-robot relationships. Arts’ major contribution is the adaptation of the classic economic "Investment Game" into a rich, virtual reality environment, allowing for the controlled study of trust under realistic, high-stakes scenarios. Her most cited paper, "An Immersive Investment Game to Study Human-Robot Trust" (2021, 22 citations), establishes this novel framework, while her foundational work, "Exploring Human-Robot Trust Through the Investment Game" (2020, 11 citations), laid the groundwork for this approach. By moving beyond simple survey-based trust metrics, Arts provides the research community with a powerful, behavioral tool to dissect the complex interplay of environmental and social factors that influence our willingness to rely on robots, directly informing the design of more trustworthy and cooperative autonomous systems for the future.
