About
Dr. Robert Bray is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, specializing in the use of social robots to support older adults and individuals with dementia. His major contributions center on developing and evaluating robotic systems that facilitate performance assessments of self-care skills, enabling more objective and engaging evaluations in home-based settings. In his preliminary study on a social robot-facilitated assessment for people with Alzheimer’s (2024), he demonstrated how humanoid robots can reliably measure activities of daily living, earning 4 citations for its innovative methodology. His earlier work on assessing a humanoid partner for older adults during home-based activities (2022) laid the groundwork for non-intrusive, empathetic robotic assistance, garnering 2 citations. Dr. Bray’s research bridges assistive technology and clinical assessment, offering scalable solutions to enhance independence and quality of life for aging populations. His notable achievement includes designing robotic protocols that reduce caregiver burden while providing real-time data on cognitive and functional decline, a critical step toward personalized, technology-driven elder care.
