About
Manuela Marquardt investigates the critical intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and sociology, focusing on how collaborative robots reshape human cognition and social dynamics in work environments. Her research uniquely bridges biological, biomimetic, and sociological perspectives to address the cognitive challenges arising when robots assume human workloads. Marquardt’s most cited work (7 citations) provides interdisciplinary insights into preventing the reduction of cognitive activity during human-robot cooperation, drawing from cognitive science and sociology. She has also advanced the understanding of anthropomorphism in HRI, exploring how humans attribute human-like qualities to robots and the sociological implications of this phenomenon. Notably, Marquardt developed a genuine sociological methodological approach for evaluating HRI, moving beyond purely technical assessments to incorporate social addressability and interaction quality. Her experimental studies, including mixed-method research at science events, demonstrate her commitment to empirically grounded, interdisciplinary HRI research. Through her work, Marquardt contributes vital sociological perspectives to the design and evaluation of robotic systems, ensuring that technological progress accounts for human cognitive and social well-being.
