About
Corrado Pacelli’s research lies at the intersection of human-robot interaction and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), exploring how socially assistive robots can bridge communication gaps for individuals with conditions like autism spectrum disorder or intellectual disabilities. His most cited work, “How Would You Communicate With a Robot?” (2022, 4 citations), directly engages people with NDDs to understand their preferences for robot interaction—whether through speech, gestures, or other modalities—challenging one-size-fits-all assistive technologies. By centering the perspectives of those often excluded from design processes, Pacelli’s contributions emphasize user-centered, inclusive robotics that respect diverse communication needs. His findings highlight that individuals with NDDs have distinct preferences shaped by their specific impairments, urging developers to tailor robot interfaces accordingly. Though early in his career, Pacelli’s work has already shaped discussions on ethical, participatory design in socially assistive robotics, offering a blueprint for more empathetic and effective interventions. For students and researchers, his approach underscores the critical importance of listening to end-users—especially marginalized populations—when building technologies meant to support them.
