"eCARE for Healthy Ageing: Enhanced Caregiving through AI and Robotics Enablers for Healthy Ageing" serves as as a practical guide for researchers, providing a holistic perspective on activities of daily living (ADLs), health monitoring, and social interaction in the context of caregiving for older adults. In the first part, "Real-world Care Tasks and Requirements," the book addresses practical applications, aiming to guide future research based on end-users and establish the foundation for assistive technologies. The second part focuses on challenges in caregiving from a robotics and AI perspective, covering topics like environment interaction, navigation, manipulation, and learning new tasks. The third part extends the discussion to ADLs involving physical contact, such as dressing and feeding. It explores perception, health monitoring, physical collaboration, and interaction, addressing technological challenges and opportunities. The fourth part delves into the cognitive aspects of human-robot interaction, exploring social interaction with older adults. The final part integrates insights from large studies and successful cases, connecting them to the earlier discussions. It highlights limitations, ethical considerations, and individual needs/dilemmas in achieving a holistic robotics and AI solution for Geriatronics.

Luis Figueredo
Dr. Luis Figueredo's research is centered on intelligent robots aiding humans in daily living, healthcare and assistive technologies. His expertise spans cooperative manipulation, with an awarded Ph.D. at the University of Brasilia and research internship at MIT with awarded robot demonstrations. Recognized with the Marie Skłodowska- Curie Actions–IF, he pioneered biomechanics-aware manipulation leading collaborations at the University of Leeds where he organized the largest UK meeting on robotic manipulation. In assistive robotics, he integrated multimodalities including ergonomics, natural language processing, and biomechanics to robot motion. His AI tools for ergonomics and biomechanics assessment are on the AI4EU platform, acknowledged on the EU Innovation Radar. Demonstrating the practical impact, live robot demos at the AI Society Automatica, the world’s leading trade fair for smart automation, showcase rehabilitation robotics integrated with human-digital twins. Dr Figueredo has also coordinated the scientific progress of the Geriatronics Lighthouse Initiative together with Dr Naceri and Prof. Haddadin at the Munich Inst. of Robotics and Machine Intellig. at the Tech. University of Munich, where he is also an associated fellow.
