About

Andreas S. Panayides is a leading researcher at the intersection of medical robotics, telerobotics, and assistive technologies, with a career dedicated to transforming healthcare delivery through intelligent robotic systems. His major contributions span three critical domains: teleoperated medical robotics for remote diagnosis and treatment, assistive robotics for aging populations and nursing support, and the integration of robotics into STEM education. His seminal work, “Medical telerobotic systems: current status and future trends” (2016, 166 citations), provides a foundational systematic review of teleoperated systems enabling remote surgeries and diagnoses over wired and wireless networks. He further demonstrated practical impact through pioneering mobile tele-echography platforms, such as cardiac ultrasonography over 4G networks using tele-operated robots (35 citations), proving the feasibility of real-time remote diagnostics. Addressing pressing societal needs, his highly cited work on nursing and assistive robotics (114 citations) explores opportunities and challenges in caring for aging populations amid caregiver shortages. Panayides also leads the ENDORSE project, developing safe, integrated indoor robotic fleets for hospital logistics. His forward-looking roadmap for medical robotics (2025) underscores his ongoing influence in enhancing precision, safety, and efficacy in clinical practice.
