About
Andrea Pilotto is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and geriatric health, with a primary focus on developing robotic interventions for age-related musculoskeletal decline. Her most cited work centers on the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia—the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength in older adults—through innovative human-robot interaction. In her landmark pilot study, Pilotto introduced a robot instructor designed to guide elderly users through targeted physical exercises, demonstrating a novel approach to combating the growing public health challenge of an aging population. This work, which has garnered 7 citations, lays critical groundwork for scalable, technology-driven solutions in geriatric rehabilitation. Beyond this, Pilotto’s research explores how socially assistive robots can enhance adherence to exercise regimens, improve functional outcomes, and delay the onset of frailty. Her contributions are particularly significant given the global demographic shift, positioning her as a key figure in the emerging field of robotic gerontology. By merging engineering with clinical needs, Pilotto is helping to pioneer a future where robots serve as accessible, personalized instructors for healthy aging.
