About

Gladiola Andruseac is a researcher at the forefront of assistive robotics and human-computer interaction, specializing in developing intuitive control systems for autonomous robotic platforms. Her work primarily focuses on bridging the gap between human intent and machine action, with a particular emphasis on accessibility technologies for individuals with neuro-motor disabilities. Andruseac’s most significant contribution is her pioneering implementation of an eye-tracking control system for robotic platforms, detailed in her highly cited 2016 paper (15 citations), which demonstrates how gaze detection can empower patients with limited mobility to remotely command robots, thereby enhancing their communication and psychosocial well-being. She further advanced the field by integrating computer vision for hand gesture recognition (2017, 7 citations), creating a dual-camera system that translates natural hand movements into robotic commands. Her research has garnered attention for its practical, real-world applications in rehabilitation and assistive technology, establishing her as a key innovator in making robotic systems more accessible and responsive to human needs.
