Emmanuel Dean

Emmanuel Dean is a Senior Researcher in the Automation research group at Chalmers University of Technology, School of Electrical Engineering. His work focuses on robotics, human-robot interaction, and assistive technologies.

Dean's research interests span multiple areas of robotics and human-computer interaction:

• Robotics and autonomous navigation systems
• Human-robot collaboration and interaction
• Tactile sensing and physical interaction
• Motion prediction and obstacle avoidance
• Brain-computer interfaces for robotic control
• Assistive robotics for physical therapy

His recent publications show a strong focus on developing advanced navigation systems for mobile robots that can predict human motion and avoid collisions in dynamic environments. Dean has also made significant contributions to tactile-based interaction methods, particularly for assistive robotics applications in physical therapy contexts.

Dean has received research funding for the CRAFT (Collaborative-Robot Assistant for Technicians) project (2021-2023), which focused on developing robotic assistants for industrial technicians.

His work demonstrates strong interdisciplinary collaboration, with publications spanning robotics, neuroscience, and rehabilitation engineering.
