About
Marc-Antoine Maheux is a researcher at the forefront of socially assistive robotics (SAR) and telehealth, with a focus on enhancing the quality of life for older adults and people with dementia. His major contributions center on the development of open-source robotic platforms and frameworks that bridge advanced perception, deep learning, and real-world deployment. Maheux is the lead architect of **OpenTera**, a microservice-based telehealth framework that has accumulated over 20 years of experience linking at-home participants to remote clinicians and researchers, with applications ranging from COVID-19 response to long-term care. His work on **T-Top**, an open-source tabletop robot with onboard audio, vision, and deep learning capabilities, has been cited in multiple studies (e.g., 7 and 2 citations) and is designed to overcome the limited perception of existing SARs. Maheux’s iterative, human-centered approach—showcased in evaluations with older adults—ensures that technological capabilities align with user needs. With over 30 citations across his top papers, his research is pivotal in advancing human-robot interaction and telehealth, offering scalable, open-source solutions for care facilities and homes.
