About
Dr. Pei-Lee Teh is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, gerontechnology, and service robotics, with a particular focus on designing technology for aging populations. Her most cited work, "Understanding the Interaction between Older Adults and Soft Service Robots" (2020, 23 citations), provides foundational insights into how elderly users perceive and accept soft, flexible robotic assistants. By integrating robotics principles with the Technology Acceptance Model, Dr. Teh developed and empirically tested a framework that explains the psychological and practical factors driving older adults' willingness to adopt these assistive technologies. This contribution is critical as the world faces rapid population aging, offering a roadmap for designing robots that are not only functional but also emotionally and socially acceptable to seniors. Her research bridges engineering, psychology, and healthcare, demonstrating how soft robotics can enhance quality of life while respecting the unique needs of older users. Dr. Teh’s work has been influential in shaping human-robot interaction studies and informing the development of compassionate, user-centered care technologies.
