About
Dr. Tong Van Sinh is a pioneering researcher at the fascinating intersection of human-robot interaction, religious studies, and cultural anthropology. His most notable work, "Sacred or uncanny? Exploring visitors’ reaction to a robotic saint in exhibition" (2024), has garnered early attention with 2 citations, marking a significant contribution to understanding how people emotionally and cognitively process spiritual technologies. Dr. Sinh’s research challenges conventional boundaries by empirically examining visitor responses to a robotic saint, revealing how the uncanny valley effect and sacred reverence can coexist in public exhibitions. This groundbreaking study provides vital insights for designers of social robots, museum curators, and scholars of contemporary spirituality. By bridging robotics with theological and cultural frameworks, Dr. Sinh opens new pathways for exploring how emerging technologies reshape human experiences of the divine and the numinous. His work is essential reading for anyone interested in the future of human-robot relationships, the anthropology of technology, or the evolving role of automation in sacred spaces.
