About
Hyeri Shin is a leading researcher in the field of assistive robotics for elderly and long-term care, with a focus on bridging the gap between technological innovation and real-world user acceptance. Her work centers on the development and evaluation of smart care systems, including a dual-arm transfer-assistive robot designed to alleviate the physical strain on care workers and a robotic bed that aids in patient repositioning to prevent pressure ulcers. Shin’s research is distinguished by its human-centered approach; she investigates the critical factors influencing technology acceptance among both care workers and older adults, a demographic often overlooked in usability studies. Her most-cited paper (4 citations) provides a foundational usability evaluation of a transfer robot, while her subsequent work tracks the evolving perceptions of care workers toward robotic beds, and a third study identifies the technical factors that drive older adults’ acceptance of care robots. By addressing the practical and psychological barriers to adoption, Shin’s contributions are vital for designing care robots that are not only effective but also welcomed by their intended users, helping to mitigate projected global labor shortages in long-term care.
