About
Lynne Baillie is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI) and assistive technologies, with a focus on designing socially assistive robots for healthcare. Her work primarily targets stroke rehabilitation and cognitive support for older adults, aiming to make technology engaging and effective for vulnerable populations. Baillie’s major contributions include pioneering participatory design workshops to involve end-users—such as stroke survivors and older adults—in the development of robotic systems, ensuring these technologies meet real-world needs. Her 2018 study on the adoption of stroke rehabilitation technologies, with 39 citations, highlights barriers and facilitators to user acceptance, a critical insight for the field. She has also explored sensory feedback (auditory and haptic) in robots to enhance cognitive training, as seen in her 2024 work on socially assistive robots for older adults. Notable achievements include her 2019 paper on the challenges of collaborative social robots, which bridges the CHI and HRI communities, and her 2024 implementation of a motivational robotic coach for repetitive stroke rehabilitation. With over 100 citations across her top papers, Baillie’s research is shaping how robots can support human health and well-being, emphasizing user-centered design and practical impact.
