About
Ramona Piller is a pioneering researcher in human-robot interaction, with a focus on how social robots can enhance storytelling through multimodal emotional expression. Her work investigates the integration of emotional gestures, sound effects, and background music to create more immersive and emotionally resonant robotic narratives. In her most-cited paper, "Combining Emotional Gestures, Sound Effects, and Background Music for Robotic Storytelling," she demonstrates how these elements significantly influence storytelling experience, emotion induction, and robot perception. This study, published in 2024 and already garnering 7 citations, highlights the potential of robots as a new storytelling medium—especially relevant in the wake of COVID-19 restrictions that limited traditional human interaction. Piller’s contributions bridge robotics, psychology, and entertainment, offering insights into how robots can engage audiences emotionally and cognitively. Her work not only advances the design of socially expressive robots but also opens new avenues for using robots in education, therapy, and entertainment. With a growing citation impact, Piller is establishing herself as a key voice in the emerging field of robotic storytelling and affective human-robot interaction.
