About
Juan Rafael Caro-Romero is a researcher focused on assistive robotics and human-robot interaction, particularly for elderly care and telemedicine applications. His work centers on developing low-cost sensor systems and attention mechanisms to enhance the autonomy and responsiveness of telecare robots. His most cited paper, "A cane-based low cost sensor to implement attention mechanisms in telecare robots" (2019), introduces an innovative approach to enable robots to track and respond to users' needs without continuous monitoring, using a simple, affordable sensor integrated into a walking cane. This contribution addresses a critical challenge in Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) by allowing robots to adapt their attention based on user activity and requests, rather than relying on cyclic checks or caregiver input. While his citation count remains modest (2 citations for this work), Caro-Romero's research represents a practical step toward making telepresence robots more intuitive and accessible for aging populations. His work bridges engineering and geriatric care, offering scalable solutions that prioritize user independence and safety.
