About

S. A. Dolenko is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of cognitive science, human-robot interaction, and artificial intelligence. Their primary research focus is on understanding human cognitive patterns during complex, strategic interactions with collaborative robots. Dolenko’s most cited work, "Patterns of Cognitive Activity in a Human vs Collaborative Robot Interactive Game" (2018, 5 citations), makes a significant contribution by analyzing sequences of human actions in a game designed to require cooperation with one of two robots to achieve victory. This study is notable for its innovative approach to defining distinct cognitive patterns based on how players navigate win/lose conditions, offering a novel framework for studying decision-making and social dynamics in mixed human-robot teams. By examining the interplay between human strategy and robotic behavior, Dolenko provides valuable insights into how people perceive and cooperate with autonomous agents. This foundational work has implications for designing more intuitive and effective collaborative robots, and it establishes Dolenko as a thoughtful contributor to the growing field of cognitive robotics and human-centered AI.
