About
Raffaele Limosani is a prominent robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of assistive technology, human-robot interaction, and smart environments, with a particular focus on improving the quality of life for older adults. His research has made substantial contributions to the development and deployment of socially intelligent robots designed to support independent living, addressing one of the most pressing demographic challenges facing modern societies. Limosani's most influential work includes a landmark 2018 study on robotic service acceptance among older adults (141 citations), which provided critical empirical insight into user satisfaction and technology adoption. His development of the ASTRO assistive robot, integrated within ambient intelligent infrastructures, demonstrated a practical pathway for deploying multi-robot solutions across real-world environments. He has also contributed meaningfully to two-person activity recognition using skeleton data and cloud-based robot navigation systems, broadening the technical foundations of assistive robotics. Through projects like ACCRA (Agile Co-Creation for Robots and Aging), Limosani has championed participatory design approaches that center older users' actual needs. With a substantial body of work exceeding 600 cumulative citations, his research continues to shape how robotics can meaningfully address aging, mobility challenges, and social isolation worldwide.
