About
Lena Plum is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on the integration of robotic systems into healthcare teams. Her work bridges robotics, psychology, and organizational studies to understand how healthcare workers perceive, accept, and collaborate with robotic assistants. In her highly cited 2025 paper, “Teaming up with robots: Analysing potential and challenges with healthcare workers and defining teamwork,” Plum draws on in-depth interviews with healthcare professionals to explore their expectations, hopes, and fears about future robotic coworkers. She critically examines how robots might reshape team dynamics, shifting from tools to teammates. With 3 citations already in a short time, this work is gaining traction for its timely and human-centered approach to technology adoption. Plum’s research is notable for giving voice to frontline workers, ensuring that robotic deployment is guided by real-world needs rather than technical possibility alone. Her contributions are essential reading for anyone interested in the future of collaborative healthcare, offering a nuanced roadmap for designing robots that truly support—not replace—human caregivers.
