About
Joanna Piasek is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of gerontology, human-robot interaction, and assistive technology, with a particular focus on the integration of social robots into care settings for older adults. Her most cited work, "Acceptance and Long-Term Use of a Social Robot by Elderly Users in a Domestic Environment" (2018, 45 citations), established her as a leading voice in understanding how elderly individuals with mild cognitive impairment experience and adapt to humanoid robotic companions over time. Building on this foundation, Piasek has produced a series of influential studies examining how real-world interaction shapes stakeholder perceptions of robots in eldercare, accumulating dozens of citations across her portfolio. Her methodological contributions include adapting and validating the Godspeed Questionnaire Series for Polish-speaking older populations, providing researchers with a critical tool for measuring human-robot perception. Piasek's research consistently bridges technology and human experience, investigating not only acceptance but the deeper psychological and social determinants of attitudes toward robotic caregivers. With publications spanning community-dwelling individuals and long-term care residents, her growing body of work offers invaluable guidance for developers and policymakers navigating the ethical and practical challenges of deploying social robots in aging care contexts.
