About
J. Artur Serrano is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and welfare technology, with a focus on designing socially assistive robots for older adults and people with dementia. His work bridges the gap between technological innovation and the real-world needs of vulnerable populations, particularly in home-care settings. Serrano’s most-cited paper (102 citations) examines the social dimension of domesticating care robots, revealing how older adults, caregivers, and robots interact within the home—a study that has shaped Scandinavian welfare technology policy. His 2022 study (91 citations) challenges developers’ assumptions by directly asking older adults what they want from social robots, offering a qualitative, user-centered approach that has become a touchstone in HRI research. Serrano has also explored robot-assisted activity monitoring for dementia care (32 citations) and children’s perceptions of robots like Pepper and AV1 (18 citations), demonstrating the breadth of his impact across age groups. His work on modular smart furniture for independent living (11 citations) and emotional care robots for mitigating loneliness in remote areas further underscores his commitment to inclusive, practical technology. Serrano’s research is essential reading for anyone interested in ethical, user-driven design in aging and care robotics.
