About

Andrew Grant is a pioneering researcher in the field of assistive robotics and telehealth technology, whose work has fundamentally shaped how mobile robotic systems are designed and deployed for home care applications. His research sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, telepresence, and rehabilitation engineering, with a sustained focus on developing practical solutions that reduce the burden on healthcare systems while supporting patient independence at home. Grant's most influential contribution, "Telepresence Robot for Home Care Assistance" (2007), garnered 73 citations and established a foundational framework for understanding how teleoperated mobile robots with autonomous capabilities can serve as effective telehealth tools. Building on this, his 2010 exploratory design study (59 citations) advanced the field through rigorous system evaluation, while his 2011 usability investigation brought critical user-centered perspectives to the TELEROBOT platform. His later work on integrated information architecture demonstrates a maturing research vision, moving toward systems-level thinking that encompasses the roles of engineers, technicians, and clinicians alike. With a cumulative body of work exceeding 150 citations, Grant has made a lasting mark on assistive technology research, offering both theoretical grounding and practical insight for the next generation of healthcare robotics developers and clinicians.
