About

Dimitri Voilmy is a leading researcher at the intersection of geriatric care and social robotics, dedicated to designing intelligent robotic systems that support elderly populations and the medical professionals who care for them. His work centers on the co-design and evaluation of assistive robots for Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA)—a multidimensional diagnostic tool for personalized elder care. Voilmy’s most influential contribution is the CLARC robot (20 citations), a cognitive robotic platform developed to assist geriatric doctors in real clinical scenarios. He has pioneered participatory design methods, integrating end-users—both elderly patients and clinicians—into the development process, as demonstrated in his work on human-robot interaction for dependent elderlies and living lab approaches. His research extends to evaluation frameworks, notably the AUSUS model (10 citations), which incorporates accessibility indicators into the assessment of social assistive robots. Voilmy has also advanced autonomous motion analysis, applying it to clinical tests like the Get Up & Go test. With over 70 cumulative citations, his work is shaping how robots can be ethically and effectively deployed in healthcare, ensuring that technology serves the needs of aging populations while supporting overburdened medical staff.
