About
Yuri Kominami is a researcher focused on human-robot interaction and assistive technologies for aging populations, particularly investigating how communication robots can support seniors with mild physical and cognitive decline. Her most-cited work, "Need and impressions of communication robots for seniors with slight physical and cognitive disabilities: Evaluation using system usability scale" (2016), addresses a critical gap by exploring the needs of healthy elderly individuals experiencing subtle functional declines—a population often overlooked in assistive robotics research. By employing the System Usability Scale, Kominami provides empirical insights into user impressions and requirements, offering practical guidelines for designing robots that are both acceptable and effective for this demographic. Though her citation count is modest, her work contributes foundational knowledge to the growing field of gerontechnology, emphasizing user-centered design and real-world applicability. Kominami’s research underscores the importance of tailoring robotic solutions to the nuanced needs of seniors, helping to shape more inclusive and empathetic technologies for an aging society.
