About
Alessandro Ianniello’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), design fiction, and media art, where he explores how speculative, spatial robotic experiences can reshape our understanding of relationships between humans and machines. His most-cited work, “Spatial Robotic Experiences as a Ground for Future HRI Speculations” (2024), exemplifies this approach by drawing on a collaborative project between design students, a media art studio, and researchers to argue that artistic robotic systems—with their inherent unfamiliarity—can serve as a fertile ground for reimagining HRI beyond functionalist paradigms. Though early in his career, with this paper already garnering 3 citations, Ianniello’s contribution is notable for bridging practice-based design research and critical theory, offering a methodology that uses art as a speculative tool to provoke new questions about agency, embodiment, and cohabitation with robots. His work challenges the field to embrace ambiguity and aesthetic experience as drivers of innovation, positioning him as a rising voice in HRI’s more experimental, humanistic turn.
