About

Cora Pauli’s research lies at the intersection of gerontology, human-robot interaction, and social psychology, focusing on how older adults engage with socially assistive robots (SARs). Her work addresses pressing societal challenges—aging populations, caregiver shortages, and the desire for independent living—by exploring the emotional and practical dimensions of robotic support in home and care settings. Her most cited paper, “Emotionale Reaktionen älterer Menschen gegenüber Sozial Assistiven Robotern” (2022, 6 citations), provides a nuanced analysis of how elderly individuals respond emotionally to SARs across different environments, revealing that acceptance is deeply tied to context and emotional resonance. In her earlier foundational work, “Roboter zur Unterstützung im Alter” (2020, 5 citations), Pauli outlines the potential of assistive robotics to mitigate demographic pressures while respecting older adults’ autonomy. Though her citation counts are modest, her contributions are vital in a rapidly evolving field, offering qualitative insights that inform both design and policy. Pauli’s research is especially notable for centering user experience over technical capability, making her a key voice in ethical, human-centered robotics for aging populations.
