About
Khaoula Ait Belaid is a researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, gerontechnology, and psychometrics, with a focus on designing inclusive robotic solutions for vulnerable populations. Her work centers on understanding how social assistive robots (SARs) and sensor technologies can enhance the well-being of older adults, particularly those from low socioeconomic backgrounds and with motor impairments. In a landmark 2024 systematic review, she comprehensively evaluated the psychometric properties of instruments used to measure psychological dimensions in human-robot interaction, providing a critical framework for future research—a work that has already garnered 15 citations. Her mixed-methods studies, including a 2023 paper on robot companions for low socioeconomic older adults (8 citations) and a 2024 investigation into SARs and sensors for aging at home (7 citations), demonstrate her commitment to addressing real-world challenges of population aging. By combining rigorous measurement validation with user-centered design, Ait Belaid is pioneering evidence-based approaches to ensure that robotic technologies empower, rather than exclude, the most vulnerable members of society.
