Human–Robot Interaction in Immersive Environments: Trust, Safety, and Ethical Readiness for Robots in Space
This proposal outlines a qualitative exploratory clinical intervention case study examining how workers, clinicians, organizational leaders, and technology professionals perceive trust, safety, autonomy, and ethical readiness when interacting with bipedal humanoid robots. The study proposes phased reflective sessions and controlled robot copresence to investigate human-robot collaboration across safety-sensitive and space environments. Findings aim to inform ethical safeguards and human-centered deployment practices for robots operating in extreme and public-facing settings.
