About

Agnieszka Korchut is a researcher specializing in assistive robotics, human-robot interaction (HRI), and the application of technology to support individuals with cognitive impairments and neurological conditions. Her work sits at the intersection of clinical neuroscience and robotics, with a particular focus on improving the quality of life for elderly patients living with Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and multiple sclerosis. Korchut's most influential contribution, "Challenges for Service Robots—Requirements of Elderly Adults with Cognitive Impairments" (2017, 83 citations), employed multinational focus groups across Poland and Spain to identify practical needs of patients and medical staff, directly informing the design of robotic assistants. Her follow-up work assessing the attractiveness, usability, and societal impact of multimodal robotic assistants (2018, 59 citations) introduced a novel HRI evaluation framework for clinical settings, earning significant recognition in the field. Much of her research is connected to the RAMCIP project, an initiative developing home-based robotic assistants for cognitively impaired patients. Korchut's patient-centered, cross-disciplinary methodology bridges clinical practice and technological innovation, making her a meaningful contributor to the growing field of socially assistive robotics and elder care technology.
