About
Antonio Greco is a prominent researcher specializing in assistive robotics, gerontechnology, and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on improving the quality of life for older adults and individuals living with dementia. His work sits at the intersection of clinical gerontology and emerging technologies, making him a leading voice in the application of social and companion robots within care settings. Greco's most significant contributions stem from his central role in the EU-funded MARIO project, which validated companion robots for people with dementia across multiple European residential care settings, accumulating over 140 citations across related publications. His research has consistently demonstrated that assistive robots can meaningfully reduce social isolation, depression, and caregiver burden among elderly populations. He has also contributed substantially to the ACCRA project, advancing co-creation methodologies in robotics design tailored to older users' needs. Beyond robotics hardware, Greco has explored dialogue systems and affective computing — including emotional state detection integrated with platforms like the Pepper robot — to enhance cognitive assessment and therapeutic interaction. His 2022 work on assistive technology during COVID-19 further illustrated his commitment to addressing urgent societal challenges. With over 400 cumulative citations, Greco's research has meaningfully shaped how technology-assisted eldercare is understood and implemented globally.
