About
Bernd Klein is a leading researcher in social robotics and assistive technologies, with a primary focus on developing robotic systems that enhance the quality of life for older and frail individuals. His most notable contribution is his work on the MORPHIA (Mobile Robotic Care Assistant to Improve Participation, Care, Safety and Security in Home Care through a Video-Based Network of Caregivers) project, which ran from 2020 to 2023. This project pioneered a mobile robotic assistant designed to improve social care networking for older adults living at home, enabling seamless video-based communication over spatial distances. The resulting platform supports caregivers and family members in maintaining a robust support network, addressing critical issues of social isolation and safety. Klein’s research has garnered attention for its practical, human-centered approach to aging-in-place, with his landmark paper on the MORPHIA project already accumulating citations since its 2025 publication. By integrating robotics with caregiving networks, Klein is helping to shape a future where technology actively fosters dignity, independence, and connection for vulnerable populations.
