About
Nurwahida Faradila Taharim is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, specializing in the intersection of cultural design and emotional wellness for elderly populations. Her work centers on integrating Kansei engineering—a discipline that translates human feelings into design parameters—with robotic systems to create culturally resonant, empathetic care technologies. Her most-cited paper, "Empowering Elderly Emotion Wellness using Cultural Kansei Robotic Interaction Design" (2018), has garnered 3 citations, establishing a foundational framework for how robots can respond to the emotional and cultural needs of aging users. This contribution is particularly notable for its emphasis on preserving dignity and identity through design, moving beyond functional assistance to address psychological well-being. Taharim’s research is pivotal in shaping the next generation of socially assistive robots, ensuring they are not merely tools but companions that respect cultural contexts. Her work has implications for gerontechnology, human-robot interaction, and inclusive design, positioning her as a key voice in making technology more humane and accessible for diverse, aging populations.
