About

Pedro Ribeiro is a robotics and human-computer interaction researcher whose work spans advanced robotic systems design and the development of inclusive digital technologies. His most notable contribution is RAMBO (Robotic Anthropomorphic Manipulator for Bimanual Operations), a sophisticated anthropomorphic robot developed for collaborative research within the I-CATER project, working in tandem with the Kuka LBR iiwa R820 robotic arm. This work, which has already garnered 6 citations since its 2024 publication, demonstrates Ribeiro's expertise in mechanical design, hardware integration, and the Robot Operating System (ROS), pushing the boundaries of bimanual robotic manipulation for practical collaborative applications. Beyond robotics, Ribeiro has shown a meaningful commitment to social inclusivity through his research on Embodied Virtual Agents as tools for promoting e-inclusion among older populations, a topic he explored across multiple publications between 2013 and 2015. This strand of his work reflects a broader interest in human-centered technology design, ensuring that digital advancements remain accessible to vulnerable demographics. Together, these research threads reveal a researcher driven by both technical innovation and genuine societal impact, bridging cutting-edge robotics with compassionate, user-focused design principles.
