About

Dr. Jordan Q. Hartley is a leading voice in human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise on assistive technologies for aging and disabled populations. Their groundbreaking work bridges engineering and social science to understand how adults with mobility impairments perceive and adopt robotic systems. In their seminal 2017 study, "Understanding Attitudes of Adults Aging with Mobility Impairments toward Telepresence Robots," Dr. Hartley conducted in-depth interviews and surveys with 14 participants, revealing critical insights into the openness and barriers to using telepresence robots for social connection and independence. This foundational research, cited 6 times, has shaped subsequent design guidelines for inclusive robotics. Dr. Hartley’s contributions are particularly notable for centering the voices of end-users, ensuring that technological development is grounded in real-world needs. Their work continues to influence policy and design in accessible robotics, making Dr. Hartley a key figure in creating a more equitable technological future for aging populations.
