About

Amruth Gadag is a researcher focused on the intersection of assistive robotics, geriatric care, and human-robot interaction, with a particular emphasis on culturally specific applications in India. His most cited work, "Perspective analysis of assistive robots for elderly in India" (2024, 3 citations), provides a foundational examination of how Indian society views the integration of robotic aids for aging populations. Through a population-based survey targeting relatives, caregivers, and elderly individuals themselves, Gadag identified key barriers and facilitators to adoption, offering critical insights for designing robots that align with Indian familial and social norms. This study stands out for its nuanced approach to a rapidly aging society, where technology must complement traditional caregiving structures. Gadag’s contributions are especially timely as India faces a demographic shift, and his work helps bridge the gap between advanced robotics and real-world acceptance. By highlighting the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, he has laid groundwork for future assistive technologies that are both effective and culturally sensitive, making his research a valuable resource for students and engineers working on inclusive robotic solutions.
