About
Monisha Khurana is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, gerontechnology, and privacy ethics. Her research critically examines how older adults perceive and interact with assistive technologies, particularly mobile assistant robots, in domestic settings. Her most-cited paper, ““I still need my privacy”: Exploring the level of comfort and privacy preferences of German-speaking older adults in the case of mobile assistant robots” (2021, 22 citations), is a landmark contribution that challenges assumptions about technology acceptance among aging populations. By centering the voices of older adults themselves, Khurana reveals nuanced privacy preferences—showing that even when users are comfortable with robotic assistance, they still demand control over their personal spaces and data. This work has shaped design guidelines for privacy-preserving robotic systems and informed ethical frameworks in assistive robotics. Her research is notable for its empathetic, user-centered approach, bridging technical development with social science insights. Khurana’s contributions are especially impactful in an era of rapid aging demographics, ensuring that technological progress does not come at the cost of human dignity.
