About
Dr. Shuanglan Lin is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the deployment of social robots in aged care. Her work critically examines the real-world acceptance and integration of humanoid robots into the homes of older adults, bridging the gap between technological potential and practical, human-centered application. Her most cited study, "Exploring the Presence of Humanoid Social Robots at Home and Capturing Human-Robot Interactions with Older Adults: Experiences from Four Case Studies" (2022, 34 citations), provides foundational insights into whether these robots are welcomed by seniors and how natural interactions unfold in domestic settings. Through detailed case studies, Lin demonstrates that while social robots can offer significant benefits, their success hinges on careful, context-sensitive deployment. This work has shaped subsequent research on assistive robotics and aging-in-place technologies. Dr. Lin’s contributions are vital for designers, caregivers, and policymakers seeking to create empathetic, effective robotic companions that truly enhance the quality of life for older populations.
