About

C. Georgoulas is a prominent researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of robotics, assistive technology, and intelligent built environments, with a particular focus on addressing the societal challenges posed by ageing populations. With a career spanning over a decade of impactful publications, Georgoulas has made significant contributions to how robotic systems can be integrated into domestic and care settings to support elderly and vulnerable individuals. Among their most celebrated works, "Robotics in Construction" (2016, 159 citations) and "Intuitive and Adaptive Robotic Arm Manipulation using the Leap Motion Controller" (2014, 136 citations) demonstrate both breadth and depth, bridging physical infrastructure and human-robot interaction. The latter highlights innovative use of gesture-based control to make robotic systems more accessible for assistive applications. Georgoulas has also pioneered the concept of robotic micro-rooms and smart home environments, exploring how ambient intelligence and embedded robotics can enable independent living. Additional contributions to fall detection, vision-controlled robotic systems, and co-adaptive care robots reflect a holistic and human-centred design philosophy. Collectively, their body of work has garnered over 460 citations, establishing Georgoulas as a meaningful voice in the future of assistive robotics and age-friendly technology.
