About
Kristen Aspevig’s research lies at the vital intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a focus on how social robots can serve aging populations. Her most-cited work, a 2018 literature review synthesizing academic sources on social robot development, has garnered 61 citations and remains a foundational reference in the field. In this paper, Aspevig critically examines how the perception of aging societies drives innovation, mapping the expanding body of research that seeks to design robots capable of providing companionship, assistance, and care for older adults. Her contribution is significant for its comprehensive synthesis of a rapidly growing field, offering researchers and developers a clear roadmap of existing knowledge and gaps. By highlighting both the technological promise and the ethical considerations of deploying social robots in elder care, Aspevig’s work has shaped subsequent studies and informed real-world design priorities. Her scholarship underscores a commitment to applying robotics not merely as a technical challenge, but as a human-centered solution to one of the most pressing demographic shifts of our time.
