About
Sandra Pansy-Resch is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on dementia care. Her work investigates how humanoid socially assistive robots (SARs) can support the psychosocial and physical well-being of persons with dementia, particularly in home care settings. A key contribution is her mixed-methods protocol comparing the effects of a humanoid robot versus tablet-based training, a study that has garnered 35 citations and highlights her rigorous approach to evaluating technology’s real-world impact. Through qualitative focus groups involving informal caregivers, nurses, and dementia trainers, she has also mapped stakeholder expectations for SARs, revealing critical insights into how these robots can address human needs in daily care. Her work on the AMIGO robot, designed for multimodal coaching, further demonstrates her commitment to developing practical, person-centered interventions. By bridging the gap between technological innovation and the lived experiences of people with dementia and their caregivers, Pansy-Resch is shaping a future where assistive robots are not just tools, but empathetic partners in care.
