About

Ramona Link’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 robots. In her most-cited work, “Who Would Let a Robot Take Care of Them? – Gender and Age Differences” (2020), she investigates how age and gender influence people’s willingness to entrust robots with personal care tasks—a timely question as automation expands into healthcare and eldercare. Though early in her career, this study has already garnered 3 citations, signaling its relevance to researchers in robotics ethics and assistive technology. Link’s findings highlight significant disparities in openness to robotic care, offering critical insights for designing inclusive, user-centered systems. Her work contributes to a growing body of literature on robot acceptance, bridging empirical data with practical implications for developers and policymakers. As the field evolves, Link’s research promises to inform more empathetic and socially aware robotic design, ensuring that future caregiving technologies are accessible and trusted across diverse populations.
