About

Hiroe Tanaka is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and assistive technologies, with a focus on bridging generational communication gaps through socially aware robotics. Her most cited work, "Social Media Agency Robot for Elderly People" (2018, 14 citations), introduces a novel robotic system that enables elderly individuals to interact with younger generations via existing social media platforms. By integrating cloud services and a single-board computer into a human-type robot, Tanaka’s design empowers seniors to maintain social connections autonomously, addressing critical issues of isolation and digital literacy in aging populations. This contribution sits at the intersection of robotics, gerontechnology, and human-computer interaction, showcasing her ability to create practical, user-centered solutions. Tanaka’s research has been recognized for its potential to enhance quality of life, and her work continues to influence the development of accessible, empathetic robotic agents. With a growing citation footprint, she is establishing herself as a key voice in socially assistive robotics, particularly in contexts where technology serves as a bridge between age groups.
