About
Federico Barbarossa is a leading researcher at the intersection of gerontechnology and social robotics, dedicated to improving quality of life for older adults experiencing cognitive decline. His work centers on developing and evaluating non-pharmacological interventions—particularly social robots like the Paro seal—to support people with dementia and their informal caregivers. Barbarossa’s major contributions include demonstrating the feasibility and usability of robotic systems in real-world care settings, as evidenced by his work on the eWare and GUARDIAN projects, which have garnered over 19 and 8 citations respectively. He has also pioneered the integration of artificial intelligence and theatre therapy into cognitive decline management, as outlined in his 2023 study. Beyond technical validation, Barbarossa addresses critical ethical dimensions of robotic coaching for older adults, publishing practice recommendations in a 2024 narrative review. His ongoing engAGE trial (2025) aims to provide robust evidence for robot-based interventions in mild cognitive impairment. With a growing citation record and a focus on translational impact, Barbarossa is shaping how technology can compassionately meet the challenges of an aging society.
