About
Anna-Maria Piskopani is a researcher at the forefront of human-robot interaction, with a specific focus on the deployment and acceptance of social robots in cultural heritage settings. Her work bridges robotics, museum studies, and user acceptance, exploring how robots can serve as guides and facilitators in public spaces. In her highly cited 2025 paper, *“Please Follow Me to the Next Stop,”* she provides a detailed case study of planning, deploying, and researching a robot-guided tour in a UK museum, offering rare empirical insights into real-world robot adoption. Complementing this, her study on *“Acceptability, Acceptance and Adoption of Telepresence Robots in Museums”* captures the perspectives of museum professionals, shedding light on the human and institutional factors that shape successful integration. Though early in her career, Piskopani’s work is already shaping conversations around responsible robot deployment in public-facing institutions. Her research is essential reading for students and scholars interested in the practical challenges of making robots welcome, useful, and trusted in everyday cultural spaces.
