Human-Robot Interaction

Human–Robot Interaction

Design and evaluation of intuitive interaction paradigms between humans and robots. This research focuses on multimodal communication, including speech, gesture, and gaze, to enable seamless collaboration and improve usability, trust, and acceptance in real-world environments.

Human-Centered Robotics

Human-Centered Robotics

Development of robotic systems that are designed around human needs, capabilities, and limitations. This work integrates user-centered design, ergonomics, and participatory methods to create robots that are safe, adaptive, and aligned with human values.

Assistive Robotics

Assistive Robotics

Creation of robotic technologies that support individuals with physical or cognitive impairments in daily activities. Focus areas include mobility assistance, manipulation support, and personalized interaction to enhance independence and quality of life.

Geriatronics

Geriatronics

Interdisciplinary research at the intersection of robotics, gerontology, and healthcare. The goal is to develop intelligent robotic systems that assist aging populations, supporting autonomy, social participation, and healthcare delivery in demographic change contexts.
