About
Shirui Tang is a leading researcher in gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on understanding and improving the integration of care robots (CR) into aging societies. Her most cited work, a mixed-methods systematic review on informal caregivers’ attitudes toward care robots, provides a critical foundation for the field. By synthesizing global evidence, Tang reveals that while CR offer immense potential to alleviate the aging crisis by performing diverse caregiving tasks, successful implementation hinges on the often-overlooked perspectives of informal caregivers—the primary providers of unpaid care. This landmark review, with 3 citations in its first year, identifies key attitudinal barriers and facilitators, directly informing the design of more acceptable, user-centered robotic systems. Tang’s contributions bridge the gap between technological capability and real-world adoption, making her work essential for policymakers, engineers, and healthcare practitioners. Her research not only advances academic understanding but also offers practical guidance for deploying assistive technologies that respect the nuanced needs of both caregivers and care recipients.
