About

Krzysztof Matus is a robotics researcher at Bialystok University of Technology, Poland, whose work focuses on the intersection of medical robotics, human-robot interaction, and autonomous navigation. His primary research areas include the development of humanoid robotic assistants for healthcare settings, patient monitoring systems, and safe indoor navigation for tall mobile robots. Matus is best known for his contributions to the "Bobot" project, a humanoid medical assistant and companion robot designed specifically for children's hospitals. His most-cited paper (11 citations) presents an integrated patient temperature measurement system for this robotic platform, demonstrating how robots can support medical staff by performing routine clinical tasks. A second highly-cited work (9 citations) outlines the dual-function concept of Bobot as both a clinical assistant and a companion for young patients, addressing both operational and psychosocial needs in pediatric care. His research on SLAM and obstacle detection for tall autonomous robots (2 citations) tackles the unique navigation challenges posed by humanoid robots in crowded hospital environments, prioritizing patient safety. Through these contributions, Matus is advancing the practical deployment of socially assistive robots in healthcare, bridging engineering innovation with real-world clinical applications.
