About
Tiffani Walker is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human factors psychology and human–robot interaction, with a focused interest in the dynamics of trust between people and autonomous systems. Her most cited paper, “A Comparison of Trust Measures in Human–Robot Interaction Scenarios” (2016), has garnered 26 citations and provides a critical methodological foundation for the field by evaluating how trust is quantified in experimental settings. In a related study, “Establishing Trust in Human-Robot Interaction: The Significance of Social and Personal Distance” (2016), co-authored with colleagues from the University of Central Florida, Walker explores how spatial and social factors shape trust formation—a contribution that speaks to the nuanced, interpersonal nature of human-robot relationships. Though her citation counts are modest, Walker’s work is notable for its early and systematic approach to a core challenge in robotics: ensuring that people can rely on machines in increasingly collaborative environments. Her research is especially relevant for students and scholars interested in the psychological underpinnings of automation acceptance, offering clear, empirical insights into how trust is built, measured, and maintained.
