About
Kouji Uematsu is a researcher at the forefront of healthcare robotics and elder care technology, with a focus on the ethical and legal dimensions of human-robot interaction. His work critically examines the integration of communicative and caring functions in robots designed for older adult care, addressing the complex regulatory and social challenges that arise as these technologies become more prevalent. Uematsu’s most cited paper, "Potential legal issues when caring healthcare robot with communication in caring functions are used for older adult care" (2020, 15 citations), is a foundational piece that identifies key liability, privacy, and consent concerns, offering a framework for responsible deployment. This contribution is particularly significant as it bridges engineering, law, and gerontology, providing guidance for policymakers and developers. While his citation count reflects a growing niche, Uematsu’s work is notable for its proactive approach to preempting legal pitfalls, making him a valuable voice in shaping the future of assistive robotics. His research underscores the importance of balancing innovation with ethical safeguards, a critical consideration for students and researchers entering this interdisciplinary field.
