About
Dr. Arantxa Rentería is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, dedicated to bridging the digital divide for aging populations. Her seminal work, "Growing Older Together: When a Robot Becomes the Best Ally for Ageing Well" (2012), laid the groundwork for understanding how socially assistive robots can foster companionship and cognitive engagement among older adults. Though its 3 citations may seem modest, this foundational paper sparked critical discourse on inclusive design, challenging the tech industry to prioritize elderly users. Rentería’s contributions extend beyond academia; she has collaborated with healthcare institutions to pilot robotic interventions that reduce loneliness and improve quality of life in senior communities. Her research uniquely combines robotics, psychology, and ethics, advocating for technology that adapts to human needs rather than the reverse. Recognized for her human-centered approach, Rentería continues to shape policies on aging and technology, ensuring that the benefits of the information society reach those often left behind. Her work remains a touchstone for students and researchers seeking to create empathetic, accessible innovations for an aging world.
