About
Roxana Agrigoroaie is a robotics and human-robot interaction researcher whose work centers on assistive robotics, personalized robot behavior, and the psychological dimensions of human-robot collaboration. She is perhaps best known for her contributions to the ENRICHME project, a landmark initiative developing robotic platforms to support elderly individuals—particularly those with mild cognitive impairment—in home environments. Her 2020 paper on ENRICHME has garnered over 121 citations, reflecting its significant influence in the assistive robotics community. A defining thread of Agrigoroaie's research is personalization: she has worked extensively on frameworks that allow robots to learn from past interactions and adapt their behaviors to individual users. Her PhD research laid early groundwork for this vision, exploring how social skills and customized interaction strategies could meaningfully improve quality of life for aging populations. Beyond eldercare, she has investigated how communication styles and motivational framing—drawing on regulatory focus theory—shape user performance and trust within human-robot teams. Her studies on physiological response analysis and cognitive performance further demonstrate her interdisciplinary approach, bridging robotics with psychology and healthcare. Across her body of work, Agrigoroaie has established herself as a thoughtful contributor to socially intelligent, human-centered robotics.
