About

Andrzej Romanowski is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, assistive robotics, and persuasive technology. His work focuses on designing intelligent robotic systems that improve human well-being, from workplace health to psychological therapy. Romanowski’s most influential contribution is the APEOW system (2016, 7 citations), a personalized persuasive avatar that encourages office workers to take regular breaks, addressing musculoskeletal disorders and heart disease risks through proactive robotic intervention. He further explores assistive robotics by translating the lived experience of physical pain into actionable design recommendations (2023, 2 citations), emphasizing personalization for users with physical limitations. Notably, Romanowski’s SpiderHand project (2020, 1 citation) introduces a motion-controlled robotic manipulator for arachnophobia therapy, demonstrating how robots can mediate psychological treatment—a novel application of robotics in mental health. His work consistently bridges engineering and human-centered design, creating systems that are both technically innovative and deeply empathetic. With a growing citation footprint, Romanowski is shaping how robots can serve as companions, therapists, and wellness coaches, making his research essential for students and researchers interested in the future of human-robot interaction and assistive technology.
