About

Dr. Rey Stephanie is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction (HRI), with a particular focus on socially assistive robots (SARs) for elderly care. Her work centers on co-design methodologies, especially the integration of Living Labs to bridge the gap between robotic technologies and real-world care practices. Her most-cited paper, "Contributions of user tests in a Living Lab in the co-design process of human robot interaction," demonstrates how iterative user testing can refine SARs to better support aging populations and care teams. This study, with 2 citations, underscores her commitment to participatory design, ensuring that robots are not just technologically advanced but also socially and practically embedded in care environments. Dr. Stephanie’s research has significant implications for the future of gerontechnology, advocating for user-centered approaches that enhance the quality of life for the elderly. Her work is a vital resource for students and researchers exploring ethical, effective HRI, and she continues to shape the field through her emphasis on collaborative, real-world validation.
