Marcel made several contributions in the emerging research field of care robots.

I met Marcel when I started to work for La Salle Almere in the Netherlands because of our common interests. Since then we have worked together on several research projects, publications, the organization of events, etc. related to Social Robotics in therapy and education. He can turn dreams and ideas into facts; it doesn’t matter if it’s a little device, an international project, or a conference. Marcel brilliantly combines leadership skills, interpersonal skills, hard work, being a good speaker, and time management.
