About

Maya Krakovsky is a researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a focus on designing and evaluating robotic systems to support healthy aging. Her work centers on how socially assistive robots can be deployed in real-world settings to enhance the well-being of older adults, particularly through training interventions that promote physical and cognitive engagement. Krakovsky’s most-cited study, “Robot-Assisted Training with Swedish and Israeli Older Adults” (2021), is a cross-cultural investigation that demonstrates the feasibility and acceptance of robot-led exercise programs across diverse populations. This work has garnered 4 citations, establishing her as an emerging voice in comparative aging studies. By bridging insights from Sweden and Israel, Krakovsky highlights the importance of cultural context in technology adoption, a critical contribution to the field. Her research not only advances the design of adaptive robotic systems but also provides practical guidelines for implementing robot-assisted care in community and clinical settings. Krakovsky’s interdisciplinary approach, combining robotics, psychology, and gerontology, positions her as a promising scholar whose future work will likely shape how we integrate robots into the daily lives of older adults.
