About
Dr. Maya Krakovski is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and human-robot interaction (HRI), dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults through socially assistive robotics. Her work centers on designing, testing, and understanding the assimilation of robotic systems for physical and cognitive training, addressing the critical shortage of caregivers in an aging world. Krakovski’s major contributions include the development and evaluation of “Gymmy,” a robot for combined physical and cognitive training, which has garnered 40 citations for its practical design and testing methodology. She has also advanced HRI theory by proposing a novel, bidirectional transparency-based action model to improve trust and usability in robotic trainers, and by exploring the complex interplay of uses, constraints, and outcomes in the assimilation of assistive robots by older adults. Her research, cited over 60 times, provides essential frameworks for designing robots that are not only functional but also accepted and trusted by their users. Krakovski’s work is foundational for creating robotic companions that support independence, aging in place, and well-being in later life.
