About

Luca Greco is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on making social robots more intuitive and socially acceptable. His work centers on multi-modal conversational engagement, exploring how robots can detect and respond to human cues to initiate and sustain natural interactions. Greco’s key contribution lies in developing “Multi-Engagement” capabilities, which allow robots to understand whether and when people in a scene wish to interact, thereby fostering more fluid and effective robot-to-human communication. His most-cited paper, “Robot to Human Interaction with multi-modal conversational engagement” (2025), has already garnered 2 citations, reflecting its early impact in this rapidly evolving field. By bridging the gap between robotic systems and human social expectations, Greco’s research paves the way for robots that can seamlessly integrate into everyday environments, from homes to public spaces. His work is particularly notable for its practical approach to enhancing social acceptability, a critical challenge in deploying robots beyond controlled settings. For students and researchers, Greco’s contributions offer a compelling glimpse into the future of empathetic, responsive robotic companions.
