About
Carlotta Belviso’s research sits at the vital intersection of gerontechnology, social robotics, and organizational ethics. Her work systematically addresses the global caregiver shortage by exploring how Social Assistive Robots (SARs) can be integrated into eldercare without sacrificing human dignity or operational efficiency. A key contribution is her development of Living Labs as ethical, real-world testing grounds within social service institutions—a methodology she refined to ensure that digital assistive robots are deployed reliably and responsibly, especially in the wake of COVID-19’s strain on long-term care. Belviso also pioneers the use of Agent-Based Modeling to predict how dependent-living seniors might accept or resist robot assistance, blending data science with complex systems theory to reveal emergent behavioral patterns. Her most cited work, “New Efficiency: Introducing Social Assistive Robots in Social Eldercare Organizations” (13 citations), establishes a foundational framework for multi-stage robot integration within Ambient Assisted Living environments. By framing efficiency through a Triple Bottom Line lens—balancing economic, social, and environmental factors—Belviso provides a nuanced roadmap for digitization in care, making her a leading voice in the ethical, human-centered deployment of assistive technologies.
