About
Cristina Iani is a leading researcher in cognitive psychology and human-robot interaction, with a focus on how humans perceive, coordinate with, and trust collaborative robots. Her work bridges social cognition and motor control, exploring the psychological mechanisms underlying joint action and cooperation. In her highly cited paper “To collaborate or not to collaborate: understanding human-robot collaboration” (2022), she investigates how individuals perceive collaborative robots and the factors that influence successful human-robot teamwork, contributing to the design of more intuitive and effective robotic systems. Though early in its impact, this work has already garnered attention for its timely relevance to the growing field of human-robot collaboration. Iani’s broader research examines joint action, social facilitation, and the cognitive processes that enable people to coordinate with both human and artificial partners. Her contributions are shaping how we understand collaboration in mixed human-robot teams, with implications for industry, healthcare, and everyday technology.
