About

My expertise in robotics in healthcare covers designing, implementing, and evaluating robotic systems and AI methods for medical, assistive, diagnostic, and rehabilitation applications. Key capabilities:

  • Assistive robotics and care robots: mobility aid, monitoring, human-robot interaction, social robotics for elderly, disabled, or chronic patients.

  • Diagnostic and logistical robotics: robots for sample handling, pharmacy automation, room disinfection, robot assistants in clinical workflows.

  • Rehabilitation robotics: human-robot interface, actuation design, control under partial observability and human variability.

I have published works in healthcare robotics, participated in field trials / user studies, engaged with partners to ensure usability, safety and regulatory compliance.

I offer collaboration in EU-funded projects that target health tech innovation, patient-centered robotics, aging society, cross-disciplinary work with medicine/therapy / ethics.
