About
Dr. Adina M. Panchea’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, control theory, and human-robot interaction, with a focus on socially assistive robots for elderly care. Her most cited work, “A Review on the Use of Mobile Service Robots in Elderly Care” (90 citations), provides a comprehensive analysis of assistive technologies enabling independent living for aging populations. She has made significant contributions to rapid prototyping of robotic solutions for healthcare, exemplified by “OpenTera” (20 citations), a microservice architecture deployed during COVID-19 to support care facilities. Dr. Panchea also advances foundational robotics through inverse parametric optimization and reliable navigation planning, developing algorithms for robust autonomous behavior in mobile robots. Her recent work on the open-source tabletop robot T-Top (2 citations) showcases advanced audio, vision, and deep learning capabilities for socially assistive applications, with exploratory evaluations involving older adults. Her interdisciplinary approach—bridging optimal control theory, human gait analysis, and human-robot interaction—demonstrates a commitment to creating practical, ethically designed robotic systems that address real-world care challenges.
