About

XiRong Cheng is a rising scholar at the intersection of nursing, robotics, and healthcare ethics. Her research focuses on the integration of robotic systems into health education, with a particular emphasis on understanding the perspectives of frontline nurses and identifying the ethical dimensions of deploying artificial intelligence in clinical settings. Cheng’s major contributions include pioneering qualitative investigations into the attitudes of Chinese nurses toward robotic health education, revealing both the potential and the challenges of this technology amid global nursing shortages. Her work is notable for grounding these discussions in the European Union’s “Responsible Research and Innovation” (RRI) framework, offering a critical lens on the ethical risks—such as patient autonomy, data privacy, and human-machine boundaries—that arise when robots assume educational roles. With her most-cited paper, “Ethical risks in robot health education: A qualitative study” (2024), already garnering 9 citations, and a follow-up study in 2025, Cheng is establishing a foundational evidence base for responsible robotics in nursing. Her research is essential reading for students and professionals interested in the human-centered, ethically sound deployment of AI in healthcare.
