About

Fauziah Redzuan is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a specialized focus on designing therapeutic robots for older adults. Her work bridges engineering, psychology, and spirituality, addressing the growing challenges of aging populations—particularly in Malaysia, where the elderly demographic is projected to triple by 2040. Her most cited paper, "Older adults perspective and emotional respond on robot interaction" (2016, 19 citations), explores how seniors perceive and emotionally engage with robots, highlighting the critical role of companionship in combating loneliness and social isolation. Redzuan’s innovative "Kansei-Spiritual Therapeutic Robot Interaction Design" (2018, 7 citations) introduces a novel framework that integrates Kansei engineering—a method for translating human emotions into design parameters—with spiritual elements, creating robots that resonate on a deeper, cultural level. This approach is notable for its holistic view of well-being, moving beyond functional assistance to emotional and spiritual support. Her work has significant implications for aging societies worldwide, offering a compassionate, technology-driven solution to enhance the quality of life for older adults. Redzuan’s research continues to inspire new directions in socially assistive robotics, emphasizing empathy and cultural sensitivity in human-robot relationships.
