About
Clotilde Monnet is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a primary focus on robot-assisted therapies (RAT) for dementia care. Her work critically examines the affective and engagement factors that determine the success of therapeutic interventions using humanoid robots, particularly for persons with dementia. Monnet’s most cited paper (56 citations) addresses the conception and assessment of robot-assisted psychomotor therapy, highlighting how little is known about adhesion mechanisms, indications, and benefits in this emerging field. She has made major contributions by identifying the behavioral and affective dimensions of the robot that influence patient engagement, thereby shaping best practices for designing more effective, empathetic robotic caregivers. Her research is instrumental in moving RAT from novel experimentation toward evidence-based clinical application. Monnet’s work is widely referenced by scholars in assistive robotics, human-robot interaction, and dementia care, underscoring her impact on both engineering and therapeutic communities. Her insights continue to guide the development of socially assistive robots that are not only functional but also emotionally resonant for vulnerable populations.
