About
Roman Kaspar is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontology and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on aging, quality of life, and the deployment of emotional robots in elderly care. His most-cited work, "Evidence and Deployment-Based Research into Care for the Elderly Using Emotional Robots" (2013, 32 citations), critically examines the potential of robot therapy to address global aging challenges, particularly in Japan and Europe, where healthcare personnel shortages and a preference for aging in place drive interest in assistive technologies. Kaspar’s major contributions lie in bridging the gap between evidence-based research and real-world deployment, emphasizing rigorous evaluation of how emotional robots can improve well-being among older adults. His work highlights the need for interdisciplinary approaches that integrate technological innovation with psychosocial care, influencing both academic discourse and practical care models. Beyond this seminal paper, Kaspar has advanced understanding of how robotic interventions can support autonomy and social engagement in aging populations, making his research essential for students and practitioners exploring technology-enhanced elder care.
