Human-Robot Interactions: The Future of Aging with Dr. Wendy Rogers

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Wendy Rogers, Professor of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, to talk about human factors—what it really means to design technology with people in mind. We learn how technology is shaping independence, dignity, and well-being as we age, and what happens when design truly reflects human needs. We also explore exciting innovations like assistive robots that support everyday tasks, enhance social connection, and even play a role in caregiving and dementia care. Whether you’re interested in aging, robotics, or the role of technology in our daily lives, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. DR.
