About
George J. McCall is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a particular focus on how older adults perceive and adopt social companion robots. His most-cited paper, "Exploring older adult concerns regarding acceptance and use of social companion robots" (2018), provides a foundational qualitative analysis of the barriers and facilitators to robot adoption among aging populations. By identifying key concerns such as privacy, ease of use, and emotional connection, McCall’s work has helped shape the design and deployment of socially assistive robots for elderly care. Though his citation count is modest, his research offers critical insights for engineers, designers, and policymakers aiming to create technologies that are both functional and trusted by older users. McCall’s contributions are particularly notable for their user-centered approach, emphasizing the voices of older adults themselves in a field often driven by technical innovation. His work serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers exploring the ethical and practical challenges of integrating robots into everyday life.
