About

Alessandra Scotto di Freca is a researcher at the University of Cassino and Southern Latium whose work sits at the intersection of robotics, computer science, and cultural heritage. Her primary research focus is on developing innovative robotic and informatic strategies to enhance museum accessibility and visitor engagement. Her most notable contribution is the **MuseBot project**, a multidisciplinary initiative that allows remote users to conduct virtual museum tours during off-hours by controlling a physical robot on-site. This system enables a visitor at home to navigate a museum space through the robot’s sensors and cameras, effectively breaking down barriers of time and distance. While her most-cited works, including the 2014 paper *"Strategie robotiche ed informatiche per la fruizione museale"* (4 citations) and the 2016 chapter *"The MuseBot Project"* (2 citations), have a modest citation count, their impact lies in their pioneering vision for human-robot interaction in cultural settings. Scotto di Freca’s work is a compelling example of how robotics can democratize access to art and history, offering a tangible solution for inclusive, remote cultural experiences.
