About

Christina Volioti is a forward-thinking researcher at the intersection of agricultural technology, robotics, and extended reality (XR). Her work addresses the critical global challenge of labor shortages in agriculture, which threatens food safety and security. In her highly cited 2025 review, "Applications of robotics and extended reality in agriculture," Volioti systematically explores how robotic systems and immersive XR technologies—including virtual and augmented reality—can serve as transformative solutions for the sector. She provides a comprehensive roadmap for transitioning toward Agriculture 5.0, emphasizing that while these technologies hold immense promise, they remain in early developmental stages. Her synthesis of current applications and future potential has already garnered significant attention, with her work accumulating citations that underscore its relevance to both academic researchers and industry practitioners. Volioti’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging the gap between cutting-edge digital innovation and practical agricultural needs, positioning her as a key voice in the ongoing evolution of smart farming. Her research not only highlights technical possibilities but also critically assesses the readiness and barriers to adoption, making her a vital contributor to the future of sustainable and automated agriculture.
