About

Dr. Julia Riemer is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in understanding and shaping user acceptance of collaborative technologies in the workplace. Her work critically examines the socio-technical factors that determine whether robotic systems are successfully integrated into human teams. In her most cited study, "Robotics at Work - News Headline Analysis 2016," Dr. Riemer leverages the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to analyze how public discourse and performance expectancy influence the behavioral intention to adopt robotic coworkers. This foundational research, which has garnered 3 citations, provides essential insights for designing human-robot teams that are not only efficient but also trusted and embraced by their human counterparts. By bridging the gap between technological capability and human perception, Dr. Riemer’s work is critical for engineers, organizational psychologists, and policymakers aiming to foster a future where humans and robots collaborate seamlessly and productively.
