About

Claudia Becchimanzi is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise on assistive and telepresence robotics for aging populations. Her work directly addresses the global challenge of supporting older adults who wish to live independently at home. Becchimanzi’s major contributions lie in rigorous, human-centred field trials that evaluate how real frail elderly users interact with and accept robotic technologies. Her most cited paper, "Living With a Telepresence Robot: Results From a Field-Trial" (2022, 35 citations), provides critical insights into how telepresence robots can empower social relationships and support personalized home care plans. She further explores user acceptance in her qualitative study "Acceptability of Assistive Robotics by Older Adults" (2022), emphasizing the essential role of user-centred design for successful Ageing in Place strategies. Through her multidimensional evaluations, Becchimanzi has produced foundational evidence on the practical benefits and challenges of deploying robots in home environments, making her a key voice in shaping the future of socially assistive technology for an ageing society.
