About
Dr. Kathrin Kochs is a leading voice in the interdisciplinary study of human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the emotional and ethical dimensions of social robotics. Her work bridges psychology, philosophy, and computer science to explore how humans perceive and relate to empathetic machines. In her most-cited paper, "Soziale Roboter, Empathie und Emotionen - Eine Untersuchung aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive" (2021), she provides a foundational analysis of how social robots can simulate emotional responses and the implications for human empathy. This research is critical for designing robots that are not only functional but also socially and emotionally acceptable in caregiving, education, and therapeutic contexts. With 4 citations, her work is gaining traction among scholars examining the ethical boundaries of artificial empathy. Dr. Kochs’ contributions are particularly notable for their interdisciplinary rigor, offering a nuanced framework that challenges simplistic views of robot emotions. Her insights are shaping how future technologies are developed to foster genuine, responsible human-robot relationships.
