About

Ch. Schroeter is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing socially assistive and service robots for real-world environments. Their key research areas include companion robotics for elderly care, interactive shopping guide systems, and autonomous navigation in dynamic settings. Schroeter’s major contributions center on the design, implementation, and long-term evaluation of robots that provide practical assistance to vulnerable populations. Notably, their work on the TOOMAS interactive shopping guide robot, deployed in home improvement stores, demonstrated robust autonomous operation in challenging public spaces, accumulating 161 citations. In the European FP7 project “CompanionAble,” Schroeter led the development of a home robot companion for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), achieving 120 citations for their user evaluation study. This work introduced critical assistive functionalities, such as reminders and monitoring, to support independent living. Their vision-based Monte Carlo localization method for service robots, with 56 citations, advanced reliable navigation in retail settings. Schroeter’s research has profoundly impacted assistive robotics, bridging technical innovation with user-centered design to improve quality of life for aging populations.
