About
Keye Yu is an emerging researcher whose work sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, aging technology, and social robotics. Their most recognized contribution, "Challenges in Adopting Companion Robots," represents a timely and culturally grounded investigation into how older adults — specifically Chinese retirees — perceive and relate to robotic companions. This exploratory study addresses critical questions surrounding emotional support, perceived value, and the real-world barriers that healthy older adults face when integrating companion robots into their lives, contributing meaningfully to a field that grows more urgent as global populations age rapidly. With 2 citations already accumulating for a 2025 publication, Yu's work is gaining early traction within the research community. By centering the voices of Chinese retirees, Yu brings a valuable non-Western cultural perspective to human-robot interaction research — a dimension often underrepresented in the literature. This focus signals a broader commitment to inclusive, cross-cultural approaches to understanding how technology can serve aging populations. For students and scholars working in assistive technology, gerontechnology, or social robotics, Keye Yu's research offers a compelling and grounded entry point into one of the defining societal challenges of our time.
