About
Domenico Bianchi is a leading researcher in social robotics and human-robot interaction, with a particular focus on child-robot engagement. His most cited work, "Facilitating the Child–Robot Interaction by Endowing the Robot with the Capability of Understanding the Child Engagement: The Case of Mio Amico Robot" (2020, 61 citations), addresses the critical challenge of making robots capable of perceiving and responding to a child's emotional and attentional state during interaction. By developing systems that allow robots to understand engagement levels, Bianchi has contributed to more natural, adaptive, and effective interactions—especially in educational and assistive contexts. His research bridges artificial intelligence, developmental psychology, and robotics, aiming to create socially intelligent machines that can build rapport with young users. Bianchi's work on the Mio Amico robot exemplifies his commitment to human-centered design, where robots are not just tools but empathetic companions. With growing recognition in the field, his contributions are shaping the next generation of socially aware robots, making them more accessible and beneficial for real-world applications in therapy, learning, and play.
