About
Alex Mihailidis is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics, rehabilitation engineering, and aging technology, whose work has profoundly shaped how intelligent systems can support vulnerable populations. His research primarily focuses on two interconnected domains: developing robotic and AI-driven systems to assist older adults with dementia in maintaining independence, and engineering rehabilitation technologies for stroke survivors recovering from physical impairments. Mihailidis has made landmark contributions through his work on socially assistive robots capable of guiding individuals with Alzheimer's disease through daily activities, with studies demonstrating both user acceptance and functional benefit among this population. His most-cited work (182 citations) established crucial insight into how older adults with dementia and their caregivers perceive robotic assistance — foundational knowledge for ethical, user-centered design. Equally significant is his development of the Hand Extension Robot Orthosis (HERO) Glove series, which has opened new possibilities for stroke survivors with severe hand impairments to regain functional independence. With contributions spanning adaptive upper-limb rehabilitation platforms, personalized robot behavior learning, and speech-interactive personal assistants, Mihailidis has accumulated hundreds of citations across a decade of transformative work. His research consistently bridges clinical practice, engineering innovation, and human-centered design to address some of healthcare's most pressing challenges.
