About

Andrei Dragomir is a dedicated researcher and educator at the University of Craiova, Romania, whose work sits at the vital intersection of assistive robotics, human-machine interfaces, and inclusive education. His primary research focus is on developing intelligent mobility solutions for individuals with severe physical disabilities, particularly those who cannot use conventional joystick controls. His most cited work, "Using an Eye Gaze New Combined Approach to Control a Wheelchair Movement" (2019, 25 citations), addresses the profound quality-of-life challenges faced by persons with mobility impairments—over half of whom struggle to leave their homes. Dragomir’s major contributions include designing an intelligent robotic wheelchair that integrates smart sensors and a visual system to support users with limb movement limitations, and a human-machine interface for controlling a light robotic arm via adapted inputs. Beyond technical innovation, Dragomir is a passionate advocate for inclusive STEM education, actively involving students with special needs in research projects and updating computer vision curricula for modern industrial applications. His work demonstrates a rare commitment to ensuring that technological progress directly serves society’s most vulnerable members.
