About

Denise Pottin’s research explores the intersection of human-robot interaction and social psychology, with a particular focus on how demographic factors shape trust and acceptance of caregiving technologies. Her most-cited work, “Who Would Let a Robot Take Care of Them? – Gender and Age Differences” (2020), investigates the nuanced ways in which age and gender influence willingness to entrust personal care to robots. This study, which has garnered 3 citations, provides foundational insights into designing more inclusive and user-centered robotic systems for healthcare and eldercare. By highlighting the critical role of individual differences in technology adoption, Pottin’s research contributes to the broader dialogue on ethical and practical considerations in assistive robotics. Her work underscores the importance of tailoring robotic interfaces to diverse populations, ensuring that future caregiving technologies are both effective and socially acceptable. For students and researchers in human-robot interaction, Pottin’s findings offer a valuable framework for understanding the human factors that drive acceptance of autonomous systems in sensitive care contexts.
