About
Alessio Antonini is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, social robotics, and participatory design. His work is distinguished by a deep commitment to understanding how technology can be meaningfully integrated into sensitive, real-world contexts, particularly for elderly care. His most cited work, "Robots for Elderly Care in the Home: A Landscape Analysis and Co-Design Toolkit" (2021, 82 citations), exemplifies this approach. Rather than focusing solely on technical development, Antonini critically analyzes why many robotic solutions remain unused in practice, and provides a practical co-design toolkit to bridge the gap between prototype and lived experience. This contribution has become a foundational reference for researchers and practitioners seeking to design assistive technologies that are truly responsive to user needs. Antonini’s broader impact lies in championing methodologies that empower end-users as active co-creators, ensuring that technological innovation is grounded in empathy, usability, and social relevance. His work continues to shape how we design for aging populations, moving the field from speculative engineering toward responsible, human-centered deployment.
