About
Filippo Muratori is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, human-computer interaction, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) therapy, whose work has fundamentally shaped how technology can support social development in autistic individuals. With over 600 citations across his most influential publications, Muratori has established himself as a leading voice in applying advanced robotic systems to clinical and therapeutic contexts. His most celebrated contribution is the development of FACE (Facial Automation for Conveying Emotions), an android robot designed to interpret and express emotions through nonverbal communication, offering autistic children and adults a controlled, predictable social partner for emotional learning. Introduced as early as 2007 and refined through subsequent studies, FACE represented a landmark achievement in socially assistive robotics. His 2014 review of interactive technologies for autistic children remains his most widely cited work, accumulating over 300 citations and serving as a foundational reference in the field. Muratori's research has consistently bridged engineering and behavioral science, incorporating eye-tracking, joint attention measurement, and multi-parametric analysis to rigorously evaluate therapeutic outcomes. His more recent work employing NAO robots demonstrates his continued commitment to evolving these interventions as robotic technology advances.
