About

Femke Ongenae is a researcher whose work sits at the dynamic intersection of semantic technologies, robotics, and intelligent healthcare systems. Her research has made significant contributions to the emerging field of the Internet of Robotic Things (IoRT), where she has pioneered context-aware and personalized frameworks that enable assistive social robots to respond intelligently to human behavior in real-world environments. Her semantics-based platform for robot interaction, which has garnered 33 citations, exemplifies her ability to translate complex ontological reasoning into practical robotic applications. Ongenae has also demonstrated a strong commitment to improving quality of life for vulnerable populations, most notably through her work on proactive social robot interventions for persons with dementia in smart nursing home settings. Her versatility as a researcher is further evidenced by notable contributions to time-series analysis, particularly a generalized matrix profile framework with 29 citations that extends beyond her core robotics focus. Earlier work on ontology-driven robot swarm coordination signals her long-standing interest in distributed, intelligent systems. Collectively, her research reflects a coherent vision: leveraging semantic intelligence to make autonomous systems more humane, adaptive, and genuinely useful in everyday life.
