About
Federico Rospo investigates the intersection of human cognition and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on the Sense of Agency (SoA)—the subjective feeling of control over one’s actions and their outcomes. His most-cited work, “The impact of facial expression and communicative gaze of a humanoid robot on individual Sense of Agency” (2023, 7 citations), employs the temporal interval estimation paradigm, an established implicit measure of SoA, to explore how social cues from robots influence this fundamental cognitive experience. By demonstrating that a robot’s facial expressions and gaze can modulate an individual’s sense of control, Rospo bridges robotics, psychology, and cognitive science, offering insights into designing more intuitive and trustworthy autonomous systems. His research contributes to understanding how humans perceive agency in interactive contexts, with implications for human-robot collaboration, assistive technologies, and virtual environments. Though early in his career, Rospo’s work stands out for its novel integration of embodied social signals with implicit cognitive measures, paving the way for future studies on the psychological impact of robotic behavior.
