About
Dr. C. Poulet is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics and geriatric neuropsychology, whose work explores how assistive technologies can transform dementia assessment and elderly care. Their most cited study, a 2020 pilot investigation on social robot acceptance, directly confronts a critical question: can older adults accept being evaluated for cognitive decline by a robot? This work, which has garnered 15 citations, demonstrates that for early diagnosis of neurocognitive disorders to succeed, robot behaviors must be carefully calibrated to mimic human social cues—a finding that bridges engineering, psychology, and ethics. Poulet’s major contribution lies in empirically validating that elderly users’ acceptance hinges on the robot’s ability to exhibit naturalistic, empathetic interactions, rather than merely performing clinical tasks. By designing and testing human-robot interaction protocols, they have laid groundwork for scalable, non-invasive screening tools that could reduce the burden on healthcare systems. Their research not only advances human-robot interaction theory but also offers practical pathways for integrating socially assistive robots into geriatric care, making Poulet a key voice in the ethical deployment of AI for aging populations.
