About
Dr. Stefania Del Signore is a rising voice in human-robot interaction, with a focused research agenda on the integration of social robots into healthcare settings. Her work critically examines the potential of these technologies to address critical labor shortages, particularly in rehabilitation care. In her landmark 2023 study, "Are social robots the solution for shortages in rehabilitation care?", she moves beyond the common perception of robots as mere entertainment or telepresence tools. Instead, she investigates their capacity for more complex, value-added clinical tasks. By directly assessing the acceptance of both nurses and patients, Dr. Del Signore bridges the gap between technological capability and real-world clinical adoption. Her research provides essential empirical data on the social and practical barriers to implementation, offering a nuanced perspective on how robotic assistance can be effectively integrated into care workflows. With her work already garnering citations, she is establishing herself as a key contributor to the future of assistive robotics, shaping how we design and deploy these systems to support, rather than replace, human caregivers.
