About

Stan Healy is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and assistive technology, with a primary focus on developing cyber-physical systems that enhance independence for older adults and stroke survivors. His most significant contribution is the Assistive Robotic Table (ART), a novel, large-scale robotic platform designed to serve as a key component of a home-based rehabilitation suite. Healy’s work bridges the gap between design, computing, and robotics, addressing a critical frontier for the CHI community. His 2014 paper introducing ART, which has garnered 19 citations, is foundational in this space. He further advanced the field through a 2017 study involving participatory design with healthcare and research subject-matter experts, demonstrating a rigorous, user-centered approach to prototyping and evaluation. By integrating expert feedback into the design process, Healy has helped ensure that complex robotic systems are both functional and clinically relevant. His research not only pushes the boundaries of assistive robotics but also provides a replicable design exemplar for future cyber-physical artifacts, making a tangible impact on rehabilitation technology and the lives of those with motor impairments.
