About
Eleonora Zedda is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction, specializing in the use of humanoid robots for cognitive training in older adults, particularly those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Her work bridges robotics, psychology, and gerontology to create engaging, personalized interventions. Her most cited paper (92 citations) demonstrates the impact of serious games with humanoid robots on MCI patients, while her subsequent studies explore robot personality adaptation—comparing introverted and extraverted behaviors to enhance user experience. Zedda’s innovative contributions include designing a cooking game for cognitive stimulation and developing adaptive strategies using reinforcement learning to maintain engagement during repetitive training. Her research on exploiting personal memories in serious games (2025) highlights a novel approach to personalization, aiming to boost motivation and participation. With a growing citation record and a focus on real-world applications, Zedda’s work is pivotal in advancing socially assistive robotics for aging populations, offering scalable solutions to improve cognitive health and quality of life.
