About
Minjung Sung’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction, gerontechnology, and healthcare innovation, with a focus on how older adults and care recipients perceive and accept assistive robots. In her highly cited 2017 study, “Acceptance and perceived usefulness of robots to assist with activities of daily living and healthcare tasks” (79 citations), Sung provided foundational insights into the factors that shape users’ willingness to adopt robotic aids for independent living. This work is particularly influential in addressing the growing care needs of an aging population living with chronic conditions. By examining user perceptions of usefulness and ease of use, Sung’s research has helped guide the design of more acceptable and effective assistive technologies. Her contributions are vital for engineers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers seeking to integrate robots into home-based care. Sung’s scholarship continues to shape how we understand the human side of robotics—ensuring that technological progress aligns with real-world user needs and preferences.
