About
Eleonora Riva is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of social robotics, human-robot interaction, and assistive technologies. Her work centers on developing intelligent robotic systems that address critical societal needs, particularly in healthcare, education, and elderly care. Riva’s major contributions include leading the DE-ENIGMA project, which uses multimodal human-robot interaction to teach and expand social imagination in autistic children—a groundbreaking approach that has garnered 7 citations. She also played a key role in CARESSES, the world’s first culturally sensitive robots for elderly care, and L2TOR, which employs social robots for second-language tutoring. Her research extends to projects like RAMCIP and ENRICHME, which provide autonomous assistance to older adults, and CARERAID, focusing on early detection and rehabilitation of autism and intellectual disability. With over 20 citations across her most-cited papers, Riva’s work has significantly advanced the field of cyberpsychology and robotics. Her notable achievements include spearheading initiatives like DIH-HERO, which fosters digital innovation hubs in healthcare robotics, and SARAFun, which integrates interactive robots into manufacturing. Riva’s research exemplifies how socially aware robots can transform lives, making her a leading figure in human-centered robotics.
