About

Roberta Perrone is a researcher whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and ontological modeling, with a particular focus on developing intelligent frameworks for both service and medical robots. Her research addresses the growing complexity of modern robotic systems by applying formal knowledge representation — specifically ontologies — to help robots better understand and interact with their environments. Her most influential contribution, "Applied Ontologies and Standards for Service Robots" (2013), has garnered 122 citations, demonstrating the significant impact her work has had on the robotics community's approach to knowledge-based system design. This paper addresses how structured ontological frameworks can enable advanced Human-Robot Interaction across diverse service robot applications. Perrone has also directed her expertise toward the highly specialized domain of surgical robotics, contributing foundational work on ontology-based modular architectures for autonomous surgical systems and sensor- and image-guided surgical robots — areas where precision and reliable knowledge representation carry profound real-world consequences. Her research reflects a forward-thinking approach to making robots more adaptable and context-aware, contributing essential theoretical and practical tools for researchers navigating the rapidly evolving landscape of intelligent robotic systems.
