About
Felix Carros is a prominent researcher specializing in human-robot interaction (HRI), socially assistive robotics, and the integration of robotic technologies within care settings, particularly for older adults and vulnerable populations. His work addresses one of the most pressing challenges of our time: how emerging robotic systems can meaningfully support aging societies and overburdened care infrastructures. Carros is perhaps best known for his longitudinal, ethnographically grounded field studies conducted directly in care homes. His most-cited work, "Exploring Human-Robot Interaction with the Elderly" (2020, 162 citations), stands as a landmark contribution to the field, offering rare real-world insights from a ten-week case study involving residents, caregivers, and social robots. Complementing this, his 2022 study (56 citations) uniquely centers care workers as active participants in HRI research, a perspective often overlooked in the literature. Beyond empirical fieldwork, Carros has made significant contributions to the ethical, legal, and participatory dimensions of robotics research, advocating for inclusive design frameworks. His explorations extend to zoomorphic robots, android perception, and COVID-era technology use in care homes. With a growing citation record and a consistently human-centered methodology, Carros has established himself as an essential voice in responsible, real-world robotics research.
