About
Giacomo Cucchieri is a leading researcher at the intersection of social robotics, human-robot interaction, and gerontechnology, with a specific focus on supporting older adults and individuals living with dementia. His work is distinguished by its user-centered approach, emphasizing the real-world deployment and acceptance of assistive technologies. A key contribution is his leadership in the eWare project, where he investigated how social robots can support the autonomy and health of older people with dementia and their informal caregivers. His 2022 paper on this topic, which has garnered 19 citations, provides critical empirical evidence on the practical benefits and challenges of integrating robotics into care settings. Complementing this, his highly cited review on the acceptance of IoT and social assistive robotics (17 citations) offers a comprehensive framework for understanding user-centered applications in healthcare. Cucchieri’s research is pivotal in bridging the gap between technological innovation and the nuanced needs of aging populations, demonstrating that effective care robotics must be designed with, not just for, end-users. His work is essential reading for anyone interested in the ethical, practical, and social dimensions of assistive technology.
