Hello there ! I am a postdoc fellow working on a project piloted by François Michaud, with the IntRoLab (Intelligent, Interactive, Integrated and Interdisciplinary Robotics Lab) at the Université de Sherbrooke. My research focuses on providing robotics solutions for aging in place and in long-term care facilities. Previously, I was a senior robotics engineer in a French start-up which designed a companion robot for people vulnerable to isolation.

ABSTRACT :
Socially assistive robots (SARs) are becoming more ubiquitous in the context of long-term care for seniors, both in place
and in care facilities. Indeed, there are a lot of studies involving interactions between seniors and SARs, which report that
SARs can indeed provide good solutions to some seniors needs. Still, the interactions are usually predefined by
researchers and for relative short periods of time. In contrast to previous studies, the multidisciplinary research project in
which I take part intends to go further and involves the seniors in the design of adaptable and understandable SARs.
This will be done by working along with care facilities personnel, caregivers, seniors and their families while deploying
different SARs, for periods of time, in care facilities so that ideas and conditions of uses can emerge from such
cohabitation setting. During the deployments, constant feedback with stakeholders will be gathered and used to improve
and adapt the design of SARs. Moreover, as the project seeks to deploy SARs for long periods of time to long-term care
for seniors, other aspects such as ethical, public policy, financially or law related ones, will be taken into consideration.
Our multidisciplinary team covers needs/uses, tackles ethical and acceptability issues in using SARs in care facilities, law
to identify the legislative and applicable legal framework obstacles to successfully integrating SARs into the care network,
and applied politics to establish a relationship between researchers and public officials to integrate this kind of
technologies in the real world.AWCRP-2020-12 Université de Sherbrooke | HQP Training | 2020-06-09 | | | OpenTera: A microservice architecture solution for rapid prototyping of robotic solutions to COVID-19 challenges in care facilitiesHealth and Technology Journal, accepted.AWCRP-2020-12 Université de Sherbrooke, University of Sherbrooke | Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge | 2021-12-19 | Adina M.
