About
Fo-Hui Lin’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, gerontechnology, and cognitive psychology, with a focus on understanding how age shapes our perceptions of robotic systems. Her most influential work, “Age Difference in Perceived Ease of Use, Curiosity, and Implicit Negative Attitude toward Robots” (2019, 75 citations), is a landmark study that systematically examined both explicit and implicit attitudes toward assistive robots across different age groups. By employing innovative implicit attitude measures alongside traditional surveys, Lin revealed that older adults harbor subtle, unconscious negative biases toward robots even when their stated opinions appear neutral—a finding with profound implications for robot design in elder care settings. This work has been widely cited in robotics, human-computer interaction, and aging studies, influencing how researchers approach user acceptance testing. Lin’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between laboratory experiments and real-world applications, as her findings directly inform the development of more intuitive, age-sensitive robotic interfaces. Her research continues to shape conversations about technology adoption among aging populations, making her a key voice in the movement toward inclusive, human-centered robotics.
