About

Rodrigo Lopez Condori is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, cognitive aging, and theomorphic design. His work focuses on developing socially assistive robots that address the challenges of healthy ageing, with a particular emphasis on integrating spiritual and cultural dimensions into technology. His most notable contribution is **CelesTE**, a theomorphic device introduced in his 2024 paper (6 citations), which builds upon the foundations of the Catholic robot SanTO. CelesTE is designed to provide cognitive and emotional support to older adults, leveraging a sacred form to foster trust, comfort, and engagement. This innovative approach not only advances assistive robotics but also opens new pathways for culturally sensitive technology in gerontechnology. With a growing citation impact, Lopez Condori’s work is gaining recognition for its unique blend of robotics, theology, and user-centered design, positioning him as a key voice in the future of empathetic, theomorphic interfaces for ageing populations.
