About
Andrea Scheidig is a prominent researcher specializing in human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, and mobile robotic systems for healthcare and rehabilitation. Her work sits at the intersection of computer science and applied medicine, focusing on developing intelligent robot companions that meaningfully support elderly and post-stroke patients in both domestic and clinical settings. Scheidig's most influential contribution is her leadership in the SERROGA project, which produced a domestic robot companion for older adults, garnering 116 citations and demonstrating real-world feasibility in private apartments. Building on this foundation, her SYMPARTNER project extended these efforts through an impressive 20-week field study with 20 seniors, validating long-term human-robot cohabitation. In the rehabilitation domain, her ROREAS robot coach for post-stroke walking and orientation training (70 citations) represents a landmark achievement in clinical robotics, with subsequent work demonstrating measurable biomechanical improvements following robot-assisted gait training after hip arthroplasty. Her earlier technical contributions in multi-modal sensor fusion, pointing gesture estimation, and binaural speech processing established robust perceptual foundations for interactive robots. Across her career, Scheidig has consistently bridged theoretical robotics research with rigorous real-world evaluation, making her a leading voice in socially assistive and rehabilitation robotics.
