About
Shoko Edo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of humanoid robotics and geriatric healthcare, with a focus on improving quality of life for elderly individuals and patients with psychiatric disorders. Her most cited work, a 2019 study on the "Encounter of Pepper-CPGE," introduced an innovative application of SoftBank’s humanoid robot, Pepper, in medical and elderly care settings across Japan. Collaborating with Xing Company, Edo helped develop the Care Prevention Gymnastics Exercises (CPGE) program—a 40-minute body-brain recreation routine designed to enhance recreation, rehabilitation, and communication for the elderly and patients with schizophrenia. This work, accumulating 17 citations, demonstrates her impact in translating robotics into practical, therapeutic interventions. By leveraging Pepper’s interactive capabilities, Edo’s research addresses critical challenges in aging societies, offering a scalable, engaging tool to support physical and cognitive function. Her contributions highlight a visionary approach to human-robot interaction, positioning her as a key figure in assistive technology and social robotics for vulnerable populations.
