About

Dr. Eddie Armstrong is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, energy systems, and healthcare technology. His work primarily focuses on advancing autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and service robotics, with a particular emphasis on their deployment in critical, non-manufacturing environments. Armstrong’s most influential contribution, "Service Robots in the Healthcare Sector" (2021), has garnered 311 citations, establishing a foundational framework for integrating robotic assistance into medical settings—a field he identified as historically underemphasized compared to industrial automation. This work has been pivotal in shaping discussions around collaborative robots in patient care and hospital logistics. In a complementary vein, his highly cited review "A review of Li-ion batteries for autonomous mobile robots: Perspectives and outlook for the future" (2022, 82 citations) addresses a core engineering challenge: powering the complex perception and navigation systems essential for smart manufacturing and flexible work environments. By bridging the gap between energy storage innovation and robotic autonomy, Armstrong has provided critical perspectives that guide both academic research and practical system design. His dual focus on healthcare robotics and sustainable power solutions marks him as a versatile and impactful voice in modern robotics.
