About
Telmo Costa is a researcher dedicated to improving the quality of life for the elderly through innovative technology, with a primary focus on telepresence robotics in care settings. His most cited work, "A roadmap to evaluate the usage of telepresence robots in elderly care centers" (2018), provides a foundational framework for assessing how these robots can mitigate the social isolation and physical decline that often accompany aging in institutional care. By addressing the degradation of social relations and family contact experienced by residents, Costa’s research bridges human-centered design and gerontechnology, offering practical evaluation methods for deploying robots that facilitate remote interaction and emotional connection. Though his citation count is modest at 2, his work represents a critical early step in a growing field, laying the groundwork for future studies on human-robot interaction in elder care. Costa’s contributions are particularly valuable for students and researchers exploring how assistive technologies can preserve dignity and social bonds in aging populations, highlighting the potential of robotics to transform elderly care centers into more connected, compassionate environments.
