About

Guillermo Arroyo Romero is a leading voice in social robotics, with a sharp focus on human-robot interaction and the practical deployment of autonomous systems. His work critically examines the capabilities and constraints of platforms like the Pepper robot, offering a foundational analysis that helps researchers and engineers understand where these machines excel—and where they fall short. In his most-cited study, "An Exploration of the Pepper Robot’s Capabilities: Unveiling Its Potential" (2023, 23 citations), Romero provides a systematic evaluation of Pepper’s performance in real-world settings, bridging the gap between laboratory promise and field application. This contribution is particularly valuable for those working in healthcare, education, and service industries, where social robots are increasingly integrated. By mapping the robot’s strengths and limitations, Romero’s research guides more effective design and implementation strategies. His work stands as a key reference for students and practitioners aiming to harness social robotics responsibly, ensuring that technology serves human needs with clarity and purpose.
