About

Ligia Chiorean is a researcher advancing the field of telepresence robotics, with a focus on integrating hybrid communication technologies for critical applications. Her work primarily explores the intersection of robotics, wireless communications, and remote interaction, particularly in medical emergencies and environmental monitoring. Chiorean’s most cited paper, “Mesh Networks with Interconnected Li-Fi and Wi-Fi Communications Applied to Telepresence Robots for Medical Emergency Situations” (2020, 6 citations), introduces a novel framework combining Li-Fi and Wi-Fi mesh networks to enable reliable, high-bandwidth telepresence in crisis scenarios, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. This work demonstrates how robots can facilitate remote medical consultations and patient interactions when physical presence is risky. Her subsequent study, “Telepresence Robot for Exploring Protected Natural Areas” (2022, 2 citations), showcases a low-cost, 3D-printed rover prototype controlled by a Raspberry Pi 4, designed for surveillance of nature reserves. Chiorean’s contributions highlight the versatility of telepresence robots, from healthcare to conservation, emphasizing accessibility and real-world deployment. Her research is particularly notable for its practical, cost-effective approach, making advanced robotic solutions viable for resource-limited settings. With a growing citation footprint, Chiorean is establishing herself as a key voice in applied telepresence and hybrid communication systems.
