About
Andrea Farabbi’s research sits at the compelling intersection of social robotics, assistive technology, and brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), with a clear focus on improving human well-being. Her most cited work, a 2019 study with 15 citations, pioneered the design and validation of embodied mirroring setups using the NAO humanoid robot for interactive games with autistic children. This contribution is notable for leveraging the robot’s simplified, toy-like appearance to enhance engagement and social attention, offering a novel therapeutic tool for those with social and cognitive deficits. More recently, Farabbi has advanced into motor imagery-based BCIs, as seen in her 2022 pilot study (2 citations), where she investigated how visual perspective influences brain-robot interaction. This work aims to promote neuroplasticity and motor recovery in rehabilitation contexts, demonstrating her commitment to translating neural signals into practical, assistive control. By bridging humanoid robotics and neural interfaces, Farabbi’s research not only provides innovative therapeutic strategies for autism and motor rehabilitation but also lays groundwork for more intuitive, user-centered assistive technologies. Her growing citation record reflects the increasing relevance of her contributions to both clinical and engineering communities.
