About
Mattias Wingren is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics, healthcare, and education, with a focus on designing human-robot interactions that are both effective and ethically sound. His work primarily explores the deployment of socially assistive robots in high-stakes environments, such as community pharmacies and dental care, where they counsel patients on medication and preventive health. Wingren’s major contributions include qualitative studies that reveal the nuanced perceptions of stakeholders—from pharmacists and dental professionals to young adults and children—highlighting factors like trust, accent, and role-play dynamics that shape robot acceptance. His most-cited paper, "Social robots counselling in community pharmacies – Helping or harming?" (2024, 6 citations), critically examines pharmacists’ views, while "Stakeholders’ Experiences of and Expectations for Robot Accents in a Dental Care Simulation" (2023, 4 citations) breaks new ground in understanding linguistic design in robotics. Wingren’s innovative use of hierarchical task analysis and large language models for robot-assisted learning in primary schools and for children with language vulnerabilities underscores his commitment to inclusive, user-centered design. With a growing portfolio of over 20 citations, Wingren is shaping the future of welfare technology, ensuring robots serve as trustworthy, empathetic partners in care and education.
