About
Dr. Tricia Santamaria is a leading voice in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a focused expertise on the intersection of personality measurement and design. Her seminal work, "Personality Measurement and Design in Human-Robot Interaction: A Systematic and Critical Review" (2017), with 31 citations, provides a foundational framework for the field. In this critical review, she systematically categorized 35 studies, revealing how researchers assess human personality, robot personality, or both, and highlighting the predominant use of the Five-Factor Model (Big Five). This contribution is pivotal for students and researchers seeking to design socially intelligent robots that can adapt to human traits, improving collaboration and user experience. Dr. Santamaria’s work not only clarifies methodological approaches but also sets a rigorous standard for future HRI studies, making her a key figure in shaping how we understand and engineer personality in robotic systems. Her research continues to influence the development of more natural, effective human-robot partnerships.
