About
Giulia Munaro is a leading researcher in assistive robotics, with a focused commitment to enhancing the quality of life for older adults experiencing Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Her work centers on developing integrated, non-pharmacological interventions that leverage Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to promote independence and active aging. Munaro’s major contribution is her pivotal role in the ENRICHME project, which pioneers a holistic robotic system combining a mobile robot, ambient sensors, and a networked care platform. This system is designed to provide continuous, in-home cognitive and physical support, addressing a critical gap where no pharmacological treatment for MCI exists. Her foundational papers, including the highly cited 2017 study detailing preliminary home tests, have collectively garnered over 20 citations, establishing a cornerstone for future research in socially assistive robotics. By demonstrating the feasibility of deploying such technology in real-world environments, Munaro’s work directly informs the design of scalable, dignified care solutions, making her a key figure in the intersection of robotics, gerontechnology, and human-centered AI.
