About
Dr. Viktoria Zander is a leading voice in the ethics and social implications of assistive robotics, with a particular focus on elder care. Her research critically examines the intersection of technology, aging, and human dignity, challenging the assumption that technological solutions are always welcome in care settings. Her most influential work, "No thank you to humanized robots: attitudes to care robots in elder care services" (2022, 16 citations), has become a cornerstone in the field, revealing significant public resistance to humanoid care robots and questioning the push for robotization in vulnerable populations. This study has shaped policy discussions and design priorities in welfare technology. Dr. Zander’s contributions extend beyond citation counts; her work is frequently referenced in debates on ethical AI and human-centered care, and she is recognized for bringing nuanced, user-centered perspectives to the often techno-optimistic discourse on aging services. Her research serves as a vital reminder that innovation must align with the values and preferences of those it aims to serve.
