About
Dr. Malak Al-Qbilat is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, with a primary focus on the design and deployment of Socially Assistive Robots (SAR) for elderly care. Her most cited work, "The Town Crier: a Use Case Design and Implementation for a Socially Assistive Robot in Retirement Homes" (2024), addresses critical barriers to long-term adherence and user acceptance of assistive technologies. By developing a concrete, user-centered use case for SAR in retirement communities, Dr. Al-Qbilat provides a practical framework for improving the utility and social integration of robotic companions. Her research tackles the persistent challenges of acceptability and sustained engagement that often plague health-focused robotics. With her work already garnering citations and shaping conversations around ethical and effective robot design, Dr. Al-Qbilat is establishing herself as a key voice in creating technologies that genuinely support the well-being and independence of aging populations. Her contributions are vital for students and researchers seeking to bridge the gap between robotic capability and real-world human need.
