About
Yasmine Kotturi is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, accessibility, and aging, with a focus on designing technologies that enhance the quality of life for homebound older adults. Her major contributions center on the development and evaluation of conversational telepresence robots, which enable older adults to remotely explore and engage with the world from their homes. In her most-cited paper, "This really lets us see the entire world," she conducted a needfinding study with eight participants using video vignettes, revealing critical experiential needs for robot-mediated remote experiences. This work has garnered 9 citations since 2024, reflecting its timely relevance in addressing social isolation among aging populations. Kotturi’s research is notable for its human-centered design approach, combining qualitative insights with technological innovation to create meaningful, accessible solutions. Her achievements include advancing the understanding of how conversational agents can foster autonomy and connection for vulnerable users, positioning her as a rising voice in assistive robotics and gerontechnology. For students and researchers, her work exemplifies how thoughtful design can bridge the gap between technology and human dignity.
