About
Claudia Salatino’s research sits at the intersection of robotics, gerontechnology, and cognitive health, focusing on how intelligent systems can support older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Her major contribution is her work on the ENRICHME project, which developed an integrated robotic platform combining a mobile robot, ambient sensors, and a networked care system to help people with MCI maintain independence and active aging at home. Her most-cited paper (10 citations) reports the first real-world tests of this system, demonstrating its feasibility in home environments. Salatino’s research is significant because it addresses a critical gap: with no pharmacological treatment for MCI, non-pharmacological, technology-based interventions are essential. Her work has laid foundational groundwork for deploying socially assistive robots in elderly care, showing how these systems can monitor, remind, and engage users to slow cognitive decline. Through the ENRICHME project, she has helped shape a new paradigm in ambient assisted living, proving that robotics can be both practical and compassionate in supporting aging populations.
