Jaelson Castro

About

Jaelson Castro is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of requirements engineering and robotics, with a particular focus on social and rehabilitation robots. His work systematically addresses the critical challenge of defining and managing requirements for complex robotic systems, where hardware and software must be seamlessly integrated. Castro’s most cited paper, a 2016 systematic literature review on Model-Driven Development in robotics, has garnered 10 citations and established foundational approaches for designing social robots that interact with humans through gestures and speech. He further advanced the field with a 2017 systematic mapping study on requirements engineering for robotics, followed by an exploratory study in 2018 that proposed a dedicated requirements definition framework for robotic systems. Notably, his 2023 work on the NAO Physio robot demonstrates practical application, using social robots for rehabilitation with 3 citations. Castro’s contributions extend beyond robotics into space surveillance, with a 2019 paper on test and validation for ESA’s SSA Programme. His research provides essential methodologies for engineers and researchers developing reliable, human-interactive robotic systems, bridging the gap between abstract requirements and tangible robotic behavior.
