About
Marta Romeo is a prominent researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), social robotics, and assistive technology, with particular expertise in designing robots that support elderly care, therapy, and cognitive health monitoring. Her work spans both the technical and human dimensions of robotics, addressing how social robots can be meaningfully integrated into real-world healthcare and domestic settings. Among her most influential contributions is her research on older adults' attitudes toward robots, exploring generational differences in interaction preferences, and her involvement in the MOVECARE project, which developed home-based frailty monitoring systems for independent elders. Romeo has also advanced the field through her work on Theory of Mind in human-robot collaboration, personality inference from body language for adaptive HRI, and the deployment of LLM-powered multi-party conversational robots. Her development of psychometric tools, including a Propensity to Trust scale using Delphi methodology, demonstrates a rigorous, mixed-methods approach to understanding human-robot trust. With over 220 citations across her top publications and contributions to workshops on social robots in therapy and care, Romeo's research is shaping how robots can become empathetic, responsive, and socially intelligent partners in human wellbeing.
