About
Andrés Ramírez-Duque is a researcher at the intersection of social robotics, automated planning, and paediatric healthcare. His work focuses on developing socially assistive robots that can support children during painful or distressing medical procedures in clinical settings. In his highly cited 2022 paper, he introduced a novel framework that uses automated planning as a core component for action selection, enabling robots to generate adaptive plans that integrate physical, sensory, and social interactions. This approach represents a significant step toward making robotic assistance more intelligent, context-aware, and responsive to the dynamic needs of young patients. With over 3 citations on this work alone, Ramírez-Duque’s contributions are gaining attention in the growing field of human-robot interaction for healthcare. His research not only advances the technical capabilities of social robots but also addresses a critical real-world need: reducing pain and anxiety in children undergoing medical treatment. By combining robotics, artificial intelligence, and clinical practice, Ramírez-Duque is helping to shape a future where robots can serve as compassionate, effective companions in paediatric care.
