About
The QuoVADis project has made pioneering contributions to the field of social assistive robotics, with a focused emphasis on enhancing the quality of life for older adults living with cognitive impairment. Their key research areas include human-robot interaction, user-centered design, and gerontechnology. The project’s most notable work, "Assessing Design Features of a Graphical User Interface for a Social Assistive Robot for Older Adults with Cognitive Impairment" (2012), has garnered 11 citations and stands as a foundational study in accessible interface design for vulnerable populations. This research systematically evaluated how intuitive graphical interfaces can bridge the gap between complex robotic systems and users with diminished cognitive capacities, offering practical guidelines for creating more empathetic and usable assistive technologies. By prioritizing the real-world needs of older adults and their caregivers, the QuoVADis project has advanced the understanding of how robots can serve not just as tools, but as socially engaging companions. Their work remains a touchstone for researchers and engineers seeking to develop inclusive, human-centered robotic solutions that promote independence and dignity in aging populations.
