About
Dr. Polaris Koi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of embodied artificial intelligence, mental healthcare, and value-sensitive design. Their most-cited work, "Beyond Robot Therapy: Embodied AI, Mental Healthcare, and Value Sensitive Design" (2023), introduces the groundbreaking concept of the "robotic home"—an integrated, proactive system of smart home and robotic technologies designed to support mental health. This visionary framework reimagines domestic environments as interactive, empathetic partners in care, moving beyond traditional robot therapy to embed ethical considerations directly into technological architecture. While still emerging, Koi's work has already garnered attention for its human-centered approach, challenging the field to prioritize user values and psychological well-being over mere functionality. By bridging AI ethics, human-computer interaction, and clinical psychology, Koi is shaping a future where technology actively contributes to mental wellness. Their research stands as a vital call for responsible innovation, ensuring that the smart homes of tomorrow are not only intelligent but also compassionate.
