About
Lucile Dupuy is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), healthcare ethics, and assistive robotics. Her work centers on the ethical deployment of social robots in therapeutic settings, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children with autism and elderly individuals with cognitive decline. Dupuy’s major contribution lies in systematically identifying the autonomy-related challenges that arise when robots are integrated into long-term care interventions—a critical gap in existing HRI literature. Her most cited work, the 2018 *Proceedings of the Workshop on Social Robots in Therapy*, has garnered 2 citations and serves as a foundational reference for researchers navigating the ethical landscape of robot-assisted therapy (RAT). By synthesizing global perspectives from the USA, Europe, and Asia, Dupuy highlights how social robots can engage users emotionally while respecting patient agency. Her research has influenced the design of ethical guidelines for autonomous robotic caregivers, ensuring that technological progress does not compromise human dignity. Dupuy’s ongoing projects continue to bridge engineering and bioethics, making her a vital voice in the responsible advancement of socially assistive robotics.
