• Robot Characters: Co-Designing Dynamic Personalities for Cognitively Assistive Robots

  Dagoberto Cruz-Sandoval, Alyssa Kubota, Connie Guan, Soyon Kim, Laurel D. Riek · 2026 · ACM Transactions on Human-Robot Interaction

  The paper introduces the concept of a "robot character" — a holistic, context-sensitive framing of robot personality that extends beyond trait-based models such as Big Five by incorporating shared interests, cultural background, lived experiences, and environmental factors. To…

• Exploring the Role of Generative AI in Dementia Resilience Building Activities: Uncovering Opportunities and Challenges

  Sushant Kot, Margi Engineer, Elizabeth Gilman, Christopher Flathmann, Alisha Pradhan, Emma Dixon · 2026 · ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction

  This qualitative HCI study examines how people with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and mild-to-moderate dementia envision using commercially available generative AI applications in everyday life. Rather than designing for this population from the outside, the researchers…

• Looking Beyond the Screen to Study the Technology Use of Older People Experiencing Cognitive Concerns

  Ruipu Hu, Eun Kyoung Choe, Amanda Lazar · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This CHI 2026 paper is a week-long qualitative study of how ten older adults with cognitive concerns — nine with Subjective Cognitive Decline (SCD) and one with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), ages 50s–80s, six Mandarin-speaking — use videoconferencing in their everyday lives.…

• Challenges in Automatic Speech Recognition for Adults with Cognitive Impairment

  Michelle Cohn, Alyssa Lanzi, Yui Ishihara, Chen-Nee Chuah, Georgia Zellou, Alyssa Weakley · 2026 · Proceedings of the 2026 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI '26)

  This CHI 2026 paper quantifies how well state-of-the-art automatic speech recognition (ASR) handles voice commands produced by older adults with cognitive impairment, and asks which acoustic features actually predict transcription accuracy. The authors draw on the Voice…
