About
Samuel Felipe dos Santos is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction and gerontechnology, dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for older adults. His key research areas include cognitive stimulation, assistive robotics, and emotionally intelligent human-machine interfaces. In his most notable work, "Towards Older Adults Cognitive and Emotional Stimulation via Robotic Cognitive Games" (2019), dos Santos introduced a groundbreaking framework that integrates robotic agents into classic cognitive games—such as object placement tasks—to simultaneously engage seniors’ memory, problem-solving skills, and emotional well-being. By embedding a robot as both a game partner and a motivational catalyst, his approach transforms passive activities into dynamic, interactive experiences that combat cognitive decline and social isolation. Though his citation count is still growing (2 citations for this seminal paper), the work has been recognized for its innovative fusion of robotics and therapeutic game design, laying the foundation for affordable, scalable interventions in aging populations. Dos Santos’s contributions are particularly impactful for researchers in assistive technology and human-robot collaboration, offering a replicable model for future studies on non-pharmacological cognitive support.
