About

Mina Ge is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of gerontology, robotics, and tourism, whose work explores how socially assistive robots (SARs) can promote healthy aging among older populations. Her most cited study, "Leveraging socially assistive robots in tourism to promote healthy aging," investigates how SARs can enhance mobility, acceptance, and well-being for seniors in retirement communities—a novel application that bridges technology and experiential travel. With 3 citations to date, this exploratory work lays critical groundwork for integrating robotics into age-friendly tourism, offering practical insights for designers and policymakers. Ge’s research uniquely addresses the psychological and social dimensions of human-robot interaction, emphasizing how SARs can foster independence and quality of life. Her contributions are particularly timely as global aging populations demand innovative solutions for active, connected living. By focusing on tourism contexts, she challenges traditional views of assistive technology, positioning robots as companions that enable exploration rather than mere caregiving tools. Mina Ge’s work is essential reading for scholars in human-robot interaction, aging studies, and sustainable tourism, offering a visionary roadmap for inclusive, tech-enhanced experiences that honor the dignity and aspirations of older adults.
