About
Simona Bar‐Haim is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, focusing on how socially assistive robots (SARs) can enhance the physical and cognitive well-being of older adults. Her work addresses the critical challenge of supporting an aging population with limited caregiver resources. In her highly cited 2021 study, she designed and tested “Gymmy,” a robot for physical and cognitive training, demonstrating how robotic systems can serve as personal trainers to maintain independence and quality of life. Her 2024 research, with over 8 citations, provides a nuanced framework for understanding the assimilation of SARs by older adults, exploring the interplay of uses, constraints, and outcomes. This work is pivotal for improving robot acceptance and successful integration into daily life. Bar‐Haim’s contributions are shaping the future of gerontechnology, offering practical solutions for aging in place and highlighting the transformative potential of robotics in healthcare. Her research continues to influence both design and policy, making her a key voice in the field.
