Dr. Eduardo B. Sandoval is a social robotics researcher,听his work spans different aspects of social robotics, such as Reciprocity in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI), robots and education, robots and healthcare, and addiction to robots听among other topics. Mainly, He is interested in how people make decisions when they interact with robots and other interactive devices. Beyond traditional robotics, there is a growing interest in the idea of designing machines that are capable of meaningful social interactions with humans. His work incorporates insights from behavioural economics and social psychology in order to explore different approaches in social robotics. About his own work, Dr. Sandoval claims:听听"I can say as a result of working in social robotics I have a better understanding of the human condition".

I am exploring new areas of research related to social robotics and human robot interaction. For instance, the use of robots as conflict mediators, addiction to robots, utilitarian social robots, and explorations to the uncanny valley in avatars, robots and artificial agents.听

My approach is focus in put robots "into the wild" evaluating听quantitative and qualitative aspects of听human-robot interaction.听

Feel free to contact me if you are looking for some collaboration in these areas with a multidisciplinary approach.听

Apart of my interest in research, I am really passionated about robots in media and robot design.

My Research Supervision

Available to supervise two Ph.D. students in the area of HRI, Social Robotics, IxD, and similar! Already I am supervising two masters students at the 国民彩票 School of Computer Science.

If you are interested in developing social robotics and HRI expertise, please contact me! :D
