About

Lazaros Penteridis is a researcher at the intersection of robotics, control systems, and assistive technologies for aging populations. His work focuses on developing variable structure control systems for robots, notably through the RAPP (Robotic Applications for Delivering Smart User Empowering Applications) approach, which enhances robot adaptability and safety in dynamic environments. Penteridis has made significant contributions to the field of gerontechnology, investigating how robotic and sensor technologies can support independent mobility in older adults. His research demonstrates that maintaining mobility is crucial for quality of life and independent living, with technology offering substantial potential to assist both older individuals and their caregivers. His most cited paper, "Variable structure robot control systems: The RAPP approach" (2017), has garnered 35 citations, while his influential study on robotic and sensor technologies for mobility in older people (2017) has received 25 citations. Penteridis’s work bridges engineering innovation with pressing societal needs, highlighting the transformative role of robotics in addressing the challenges of an aging global population.
