About

Marco Eichelberg is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, healthcare, and human-robot interaction, with a primary focus on the ethical and practical deployment of robotic systems in nursing care. His work addresses the critical challenge of integrating technology into care settings as aging populations strain healthcare systems worldwide. Eichelberg’s most cited paper, "A Survey of Robotic Systems for Nursing Care" (2022, 48 citations), provides a comprehensive overview of this emerging field, highlighting the political and societal urgency of robotics in care. He further explores user-centered concerns in "Is the Robot Spying on me? A Study on Perceived Privacy in Telepresence Scenarios with Mobile and Humanoid Robots" (2024, 5 citations), investigating how privacy perceptions shape acceptance of care robots. His latest contribution, "READY? – Reflective Dialog Tool on Issues Relating to the Use of Robotic Systems for Nursing Care" (2025, 2 citations), offers a practical framework for care institutions to assess and reflect on robotic integration. Through these works, Eichelberg bridges technical innovation with ethical reflection, ensuring that robotic systems are designed and implemented with human dignity and privacy at the forefront. His research is essential for students and practitioners navigating the future of care technology.
