About
Izidor Mlakar is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of socially assistive robotics, human-computer interaction, and healthcare technology. His scholarship is primarily focused on the integration of humanoid robots and clinical decision support systems into nursing and hospital care environments, addressing pressing global challenges such as workforce shortages, population aging, and rising healthcare demands. Mlakar has made significant contributions to understanding how patients and healthcare professionals perceive, accept, and ethically engage with robotic assistants, employing rigorous methodologies including randomized controlled trials, structural equation modeling, and living lab frameworks. His most-cited work examines attitudes toward socially assistive robots in nursing contexts, reflecting the growing urgency of this research area with over 16 citations since 2023. Notably, he has advanced the technical side of the field as well, with earlier contributions to synthetic behavior generation for artificial bodies, demonstrating a career-long commitment to bridging human communication and machine intelligence. His recent investigations into HL7 FHIR integration and decentralized interaction models for robotic nurses underscore his commitment to real-world, deployable solutions. Collectively, his body of work positions him as an emerging authority shaping how AI-driven robotics can meaningfully augment patient care.
