About

Dominika Cupkova is a researcher advancing the integration of robotics into everyday life, with a primary focus on human-robot interaction and assistive technologies in domestic environments. Her most cited work, "Cloud-enabled assisted living: The role of robot receptionist in the home environment" (2019, 2 citations), explores the emerging role of robots as receptionists within smart homes, bridging cloud computing and robotics to enhance assisted living. Cupkova’s key contributions lie in designing robotic systems that serve as intuitive, socially aware interfaces for elderly or disabled users, aiming to improve independence and quality of life through seamless human-robot collaboration. By analyzing state-of-the-art receptionist robots and home-deployed systems, she identifies critical design principles for trust, usability, and cloud-based responsiveness. Though her citation count is modest, her work addresses a timely niche in ambient assisted living, laying groundwork for future scalable, cloud-integrated robotic assistants. Cupkova’s research underscores the potential of robots not as mere tools but as empathetic, communicative partners in caregiving—a vision that aligns with broader trends toward aging-in-place technologies. Her efforts contribute to a growing body of knowledge on socially assistive robotics, with implications for both academic research and practical deployment in smart home ecosystems.
