About

Amanda Yee is a rising scholar at the intersection of gerontechnology, ethics, and social robotics. Her research critically examines how emerging technologies—particularly robots—can be responsibly integrated into long-term care (LTC) settings to address the profound social isolation and loneliness exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. In her most-cited work, "The perceptions of university students on technological and ethical risks of using robots in long-term care homes" (2023, 5 citations), Yee explores the nuanced views of future caregivers, revealing key tensions between the promise of robotic companionship and the ethical risks of depersonalization, privacy erosion, and reduced human contact. This study provides a foundational framework for understanding stakeholder concerns before technologies are deployed. Yee’s work is notable for centering the voices of younger generations who will shape the future of elder care, and for bridging engineering, social science, and bioethics. Her contributions are especially timely as policymakers worldwide seek evidence-based guidelines for technology adoption in aging populations. With a growing citation footprint, Amanda Yee is establishing herself as a thoughtful, interdisciplinary voice in the responsible innovation of care robots.
