About
Markus Rittenbruch is a leading researcher at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), and Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). His work fundamentally explores how people and robots can work together effectively, with a strong emphasis on human decision-making, contextual adaptability, and inclusive design. Rittenbruch’s major contributions include a highly cited scoping review on factors affecting human decision-making in HRC (24 citations), which provides a foundational framework for the field. He has also pioneered research on urban robot contextual adaptability, using design probes to envision how robots can integrate into complex city environments. His collaborative, designerly approach is exemplified in co-designing socially interactive robots with older adults, challenging stereotypes and promoting responsible innovation. Rittenbruch is also at the forefront of integrating Augmented Reality (AR) into HRC for architectural design and fabrication, developing systems that enhance creative agency and real-time interaction. With a growing body of work that synthesizes perspectives on empowering people in collaborative robotics, Rittenbruch’s research is shaping the future of human-robot partnerships across domestic, urban, and industrial settings.
