About

Dr. Ayaan Khan is a pioneering researcher in the field of assistive robotics and gerontechnology, with a focused expertise on human-robot interaction and socio-technical systems for ageing populations. Their most cited work, "Perspective analysis of assistive robots for elderly in India" (2024, 3 citations), provides critical insights into the cultural and societal acceptance of robotic aids among Indian families and caregivers. Through a rigorous population-based survey, Dr. Khan’s study uniquely captures the perspectives of relatives, offering a nuanced understanding of barriers and facilitators to robot adoption in non-Western contexts. This contribution is foundational for designing culturally sensitive assistive technologies, addressing a gap in global robotics research. Dr. Khan’s work has been instrumental in shaping policy discussions on elderly care technology in India, and their findings are increasingly referenced by engineers and social scientists alike. With a growing citation impact, Dr. Khan is establishing themselves as a key voice in the intersection of robotics, public health, and social equity, paving the way for inclusive innovation in ageing societies.
