About

Nadine Schweiger is an emerging researcher working at the intersection of human-robot interaction, assistive technology, and dementia care. Her work focuses on developing robotic systems designed to support therapeutic interventions for elderly individuals living with dementia, addressing one of the most pressing challenges posed by global demographic change. Schweiger's most notable contributions center on the design and evaluation of socially assistive robots capable of delivering personalized, haptic-based dementia therapies in nursing home environments. Her research recognizes the growing strain on care staff and proposes robotic assistance as a practical, scalable solution to maintain therapy quality while reducing caregiver burden. Her 2023 paper on robotic haptic dementia exercises and her work on adaptable interaction concepts for therapy robots demonstrate a keen focus on user-centered design, ensuring that robotic systems can be meaningfully tailored to individual patient needs and cognitive states. With publications accumulating citations across the international research community, Schweiger's work bridges robotics engineering and geriatric care practice. Though still early in her career, her consistent focus on resilience-building and adaptive interaction positions her as a promising voice in the rapidly growing field of care robotics and age-appropriate assistive technologies.
