About
Adi Saptari is a researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a primary focus on enhancing the quality of life for older adults. His key research areas encompass usability engineering, user experience (UX) design, and the development of assistive social robots. Saptari’s major contribution lies in systematically identifying the design and evaluation challenges that prevent these robots from being truly effective and accepted in elder care settings. His highly cited 2022 review, "A Review on Usability and User Experience of Assistive Social Robots for Older Persons," which has garnered 13 citations, provides a foundational framework for the field. In this work, he synthesizes existing knowledge to highlight the critical gap between technological capability and user-centered design, arguing that for robots to provide meaningful physical and cognitive support, they must be intuitive and emotionally resonant. This review has become a key reference for designers and engineers, shaping how the next generation of assistive robots is conceived. Through his work, Saptari is helping to ensure that technology serves not just function, but also the dignity and well-being of our aging population.
