About
Fynn Holm is a leading scholar at the intersection of science and technology studies, social robotics, and Japanese studies. His research critically examines how emerging technologies, particularly social robots, are conceptualized and integrated into society, with a specific focus on elder care in contemporary Japan. Holm’s most-cited work, “Conceptualizing Robotic Agency: Social Robots in Elder Care in Contemporary Japan” (2021, 8 citations), offers a groundbreaking analysis of Japan’s national push to deploy anthropomorphic robots to address the labor crisis in its hyper-aging society. He challenges simplistic views of robotic agency, revealing how elderly users and caregivers form unexpected emotional bonds with these machines, thereby reshaping care dynamics. This work has become a key reference for scholars studying human-robot interaction and the cultural dimensions of automation. Holm’s contributions are vital for understanding how Japan’s technological solutions are redefining care, agency, and human connection in an aging world.
