About
Carol Chiang’s research sits at the vital intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, addressing the global aging crisis through a deeply human-centered lens. Her most-cited work, “Exploring Embodiment Form Factors of a Home-Helper Robot: Perspectives from Care Receivers and Caregivers” (2025, 6 citations), tackles the urgent challenge of supporting older adults and their caregivers amid shrinking caregiving populations. Chiang’s major contribution lies in systematically investigating how robot design—specifically physical embodiment—can ease the burden of care while respecting the dignity and preferences of both care receivers and their caregivers. By centering the voices of these end-users, she moves beyond technical feasibility to explore what makes assistive robots truly acceptable and effective in home settings. Her work is notable for its timely, empathetic framing of a worldwide crisis, offering actionable insights for designers and policymakers. With a growing citation footprint, Chiang is establishing herself as a thoughtful voice in socially assistive robotics, bridging engineering, ethics, and real-world care needs—a researcher whose work resonates as societies worldwide grapple with how technology can support aging populations.
