About

Alessandra Raso is a leading researcher in the field of socially assistive robotics (SARs), with a primary focus on their application in rehabilitation and therapeutic settings. Her most cited work, "Exploring the Impact of Socially Assistive Robots in Rehabilitation Scenarios" (2025, 13 citations), provides a foundational analysis of how SARs enhance patient motivation and support across diverse contexts, including stroke recovery and pediatric rehabilitation. Raso’s major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the effectiveness of these robots as non-pharmacological tools that improve engagement and outcomes in clinical and home-based care. Her research bridges engineering, psychology, and healthcare, offering evidence-based guidelines for integrating SARs into rehabilitation protocols. By demonstrating significant improvements in patient adherence and emotional well-being, Raso’s work has influenced both academic discourse and practical implementation strategies. Her findings are particularly notable for highlighting the potential of SARs to address critical gaps in long-term care and accessibility. With a growing citation impact, Raso is recognized as a key voice in human-robot interaction, shaping future innovations in assistive technology for vulnerable populations.
