About

Dr. Ilgın Gökaşar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of urban mobility, artificial intelligence, and human-robot interaction. Her work critically examines the societal and operational implications of integrating social robots into public transport systems, a field where she has made foundational contributions. Her most cited paper, "Assessing alternatives of including social robots in urban transport using fuzzy trigonometric operators based decision-making model" (2023, 28 citations), introduces a novel multi-criteria decision-making framework that evaluates how autonomous social agents can be seamlessly embedded into city transit networks. This study is widely recognized for its methodological rigor and forward-looking perspective on human-robot relationships in public spaces. Dr. Gökaşar’s research uniquely bridges engineering and social science, addressing not only technical feasibility but also the ethical and relational dimensions of human-robot coexistence. Her work has been instrumental in shaping policy discussions around smart city infrastructure and autonomous systems. With a growing citation impact and a reputation for interdisciplinary innovation, she is a leading voice in the responsible design of urban technologies that prioritize human well-being alongside technological advancement.
