About

Dr. Senthil Kumar is a leading voice at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and geriatric care, whose work is reshaping how we support aging populations. His most cited paper, “Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics in Elderly Healthcare: Enabling Independence and Quality of Life” (2023, 71 citations), critically examines the ethical and practical deployment of AI-driven assistive technologies. Rather than simply championing innovation, Kumar challenges the field to abandon alarmist metaphors like the “aging tsunami,” arguing that such language undermines the dignity of older adults and distracts from the slow growth of the geriatric workforce. His research emphasizes that technology must empower, not replace, human care—advocating for systems that enhance autonomy and quality of life. By bridging engineering, ethics, and clinical practice, Kumar has become a pivotal figure in ensuring that AI and robotics serve as compassionate tools rather than dehumanizing solutions. His work is essential reading for students and researchers seeking to build a future where aging is met with respect, not crisis.
