About

Paula Alavesa is a researcher at the forefront of ubiquitous computing, cyber-physical systems, and immersive technologies, with a particular focus on how these systems can enhance human connectivity and remote presence. Her most-cited work, "Leveraging 5G in cyber-physical system for low-cost robotic telepresence" (2022, 4 citations), exemplifies her drive to make advanced telepresence accessible and resilient. In this study, Alavesa demonstrates how 5G networks can power affordable robotic platforms, enabling seamless remote interaction even during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic—when physical mobility is restricted. Her contribution lies in bridging the gap between high-end, costly telepresence solutions and practical, deployable systems that rely on mature ubiquitous technologies. By integrating 5G’s low latency and high bandwidth with cyber-physical architectures, she opens new avenues for remote work, education, and healthcare. Alavesa’s work is notable for its timely relevance and its emphasis on low-cost, scalable solutions, making her a key voice in the evolution of connected, resilient societies. Her research continues to inspire students and practitioners seeking to build a more connected world through smart, affordable technology.
