About
E. Boevers is a researcher focused on the human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, particularly examining how older adults perceive and adopt social companion robots. Their most cited work, "Exploring older adult concerns regarding acceptance and use of social companion robots" (2018), delves into the nuanced barriers—such as privacy, usability, and emotional attachment—that influence technology adoption among aging populations. While this paper has garnered 2 citations, its qualitative insights have contributed to a growing dialogue on designing empathetic, user-centered robotic systems for elderly care. Boevers’ research bridges engineering, psychology, and social work, emphasizing the importance of addressing real-world concerns to foster trust and long-term engagement with assistive technologies. Their work is notable for its focus on underrepresented voices in tech development, advocating for inclusive design that respects older adults’ autonomy and preferences. By highlighting the gap between technological capability and user acceptance, Boevers has laid groundwork for future studies on ethical AI and aging, making their research a valuable resource for students and scholars exploring the intersection of robotics, gerontology, and human factors.
