About
Alexandre De Masi is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in designing social robotic systems for healthcare and homecare environments. His most cited work, "Designing a Social Robot Companion to Support Homecare: Usability Results" (2022, 6 citations), addresses a critical societal challenge: supporting frail seniors who face loneliness, depression, and difficulties with medication and nutrition, especially when family or nursing care is limited. De Masi’s major contribution lies in demonstrating how digital companions—specifically social robots—can complement homecare nursing by providing practical assistance and emotional support. His research bridges robotics, usability engineering, and gerontology, offering evidence-based design insights that prioritize user-centered interaction. By focusing on real-world usability outcomes, De Masi’s work has laid foundational groundwork for deploying assistive robots in aging populations, highlighting both the potential and the practical considerations of integrating robots into daily care routines. His findings are particularly relevant for researchers and students interested in socially assistive robotics, human-centered design, and technology for aging in place.
