About
Alicia Mora is a robotics researcher dedicated to developing intelligent systems that improve quality of life, with a primary focus on assistive robotics for aging populations. Her most influential work, "A Multirobot System in an Assisted Home Environment to Support the Elderly in Their Daily Lives" (39 citations), proposes a heterogeneous multirobot system designed to monitor and assist elderly individuals living alone, addressing the critical issue of social isolation. Mora is also the lead developer of ADAM, a robotic companion for enhanced quality of life, and its accompanying simulation environment, ADAMSim, which supports research in domestic mobile manipulation. Beyond assistive robotics, her contributions span key areas of mobile robot perception and navigation, including multi-LiDAR mapping for indoor scene segmentation, sensor fusion for social navigation using Fast Marching Square and Gaussian Mixture Models, and kinesthetic learning for manipulation tasks. She has also advanced practical mapping solutions, such as intensity-based identification of reflective surfaces and leveraging 3-D data for whole-object shape-aware 2-D map building. With over 115 total citations across her published work, Mora’s research is notable for its direct application to real-world challenges, bridging the gap between autonomous systems and human-centered care.
