About
Barbara M. Di Eugenio is a leading researcher in human-robot interaction and multimodal communication, with a focus on assistive technologies for aging populations. Her work integrates speech, vision, and haptics to create more natural and effective interfaces between humans and robotic systems. In her highly cited 2010 paper, "Towards Effective Communication with Robotic Assistants for the Elderly: Integrating Speech, Vision and Haptics," she pioneered approaches to help older adults safely age in place by enabling robots to understand and respond to multiple communication modalities. This foundational work, with over 10 citations, demonstrates her commitment to developing technologies that address real-world societal challenges. Di Eugenio's research has significantly advanced our understanding of how robots can interpret human gestures, speech, and touch, making human-robot interaction more intuitive and accessible. Her contributions have influenced the design of assistive robots and laid important groundwork for creating robotic companions that can support independent living for the elderly. Through her interdisciplinary approach, she continues to shape the future of human-centered robotics and multimodal systems.
