About

Eleftheria Vellidou is a leading researcher in healthcare robotics and integrated eCare systems, with a focus on transforming hospital logistics and elderly care through intelligent automation. Her most impactful work centers on the ENDORSE project, which pioneers safe, efficient, and infrastructure-less indoor robotic fleets for logistic applications in healthcare and commercial spaces. This concept addresses critical gaps in existing mobile robotic solutions, which have struggled to gain market acceptance due to high costs and operational limitations. Vellidou’s contributions propose four innovation pillars to overcome these barriers, aiming to revolutionize hospital logistics by enabling seamless multi-robot coordination without costly infrastructure modifications. Her work on integrated eCare further tackles the fragmentation of healthcare and social services, particularly for older adults, by promoting technology-driven solutions that reduce inefficiencies and improve care quality. With over 30 citations on her flagship paper, Vellidou’s research demonstrates tangible impact in advancing robotic logistics and integrated care models. Her achievements position her as a key figure in bridging robotics, healthcare, and social care, offering scalable solutions that promise to enhance operational efficiency and patient outcomes in real-world settings.
