About
Giulia Colombini is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and psychology, pioneering the emerging field of robotic psychology. Her most-cited work, a PRISMA systematic review on social-robot-based interventions in psychological domains, has garnered 17 citations and established a foundational framework for understanding how socially adept robots can support mental health care. Colombini’s major contribution lies in systematically mapping how robots equipped to process social information can be effectively deployed in psychological interventions—from therapy assistance to behavioral coaching. This work bridges a critical gap between technological capability and clinical application, demonstrating that robots are not merely tools but potential partners in psychological care. Her research has significant implications for expanding access to mental health support, particularly in under-resourced settings. By synthesizing evidence on robot-assisted therapy, Colombini has provided a roadmap for future studies and practical implementations. Her achievements position her as a key voice in human-robot interaction, where she continues to explore how robotic empathy and social cognition can transform psychological practice.
