About

Blandine Boudet is a researcher dedicated to improving the quality of life for the elderly through assistive robotics and human-robot interaction. Her key research areas include multi-modal perception systems, home-based assistive technologies, and the study of everyday challenges faced by frail older adults. Her most cited work, "A multi-modal perception based assistive robotic system for the elderly" (2016, 32 citations), presents a pioneering framework that integrates visual, auditory, and tactile sensors to enable robots to detect and respond to the needs of aging individuals in home environments. This contribution lays the groundwork for more intuitive and responsive robotic caregivers. In a complementary pilot study, "Quels sont les objets égarés à domicile par les personnes âgées fragiles ?" (2013, 5 citations), Boudet investigates the specific objects commonly misplaced by elderly individuals, offering actionable insights for designing assistive systems that can help locate lost items. Her work bridges engineering and gerontology, addressing real-world problems with practical, sensor-driven solutions. Boudet’s research is a vital step toward creating compassionate, autonomous systems that support aging in place.
