About
Jonas Frei is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of service robotics, human-robot interaction, and gerontechnology. His work centers on the practical deployment of robotic systems in elderly care, addressing the critical gap between technological potential and real-world implementation. Frei’s most notable contribution is his leadership in the Agebots project, funded by the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse), which brought together a multidisciplinary team to investigate how service robots can be integrated into retirement and nursing homes. His paper, *"Hey robot, where is my drink?"*, captures the essence of his research—exploring how robots can assist with daily tasks while respecting the dignity and autonomy of older adults. Though his citation count is modest, Frei’s impact lies in his pioneering, applied approach: he bridges engineering, ethics, and care practice, offering a blueprint for human-centered robotics. His work has been recognized for its societal relevance, and he continues to shape conversations on how technology can enhance, rather than replace, human care.
