About

Tyler Morris is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a focused expertise in developing socially assistive robots for dementia care. His major contributions center on designing innovative, non-pharmacological interventions that leverage robotic platforms to enhance the quality of life for persons with Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Morris’s most notable work introduces the MUSE system (Music intervention Using Socially Engaging robotics), which integrates the Pepper robot with music therapy to create engaging, personalized care sessions. This novel approach, detailed in his 2024 paper, has already garnered 3 citations, signaling growing interest in its potential to reduce agitation and improve social engagement. His foundational 2022 study on social robots for assisted living established key design principles for deploying robots in long-term care settings, earning 2 citations. Morris’s research stands out for its human-centered methodology, blending engineering rigor with clinical insight to address a pressing societal need. By demonstrating how robots can serve as empathetic companions and therapeutic tools, he is shaping the future of dementia care, offering scalable solutions that respect patient dignity while supporting overburdened caregivers.
