About
Killian Lachaux is an emerging researcher working at the intersection of assistive technology, smart home systems, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on improving safety and quality of life for older adults. His research centers on developing intelligent systems capable of detecting and preventing falls — one of the most significant health risks facing the aging population — using accessible and non-invasive technologies such as monocular cameras and ambient sensors. His most notable contribution, "Fall Prevention and Detection in Smart Homes Using Monocular Cameras and an Interactive Social Robot" (2021), has garnered 12 citations and demonstrates a compelling approach to combining computer vision with social robotics to monitor and respond to fall risks in residential environments. His follow-up work in 2022 expanded this framework by integrating ambient sensors, further refining the system's applicability to real-world populations. What distinguishes Lachaux's research is its human-centered perspective, addressing not only the physical dangers of falling but also the psychological toll — including fear of falling and loss of independence — that profoundly affects older adults' wellbeing. His work represents a promising step toward practical, technology-driven solutions for aging in place.
