Caterina Neef

Positions

  • Research associate at the Cologne Cobots Lab
  • Group leader of the health care research area of the Cologne Cobots Lab
  • GeneRobot - Generational transfer robotics
    Our project supports people in assisted living formats to keep up with ongoing technical developments. Engineering students work together with seniors to develop applications for social robots that support them in their everyday lives.

  • Robotics in the health and care sector
    In this project, we investigate the extent to which social robotic systems can be used in the health and care sector (proof of concept) and which requirements have to be met in order to implement robotic solutions in the sense of social innovation.
