About
Edoardo Oranger is a researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, persuasive technology, and child health, with a focus on leveraging social robots and conversational agents to promote positive behavioral change. His most-cited work, "Social Robots vs. Chatbots: Evaluating the Effect as a Persuasive Technology for Children in the Healthy Eating Domain" (2024), investigates how different digital interfaces—embodied robots versus text-based chatbots—can effectively engage children in adopting healthier eating habits. This study, which has already garnered 2 citations shortly after publication, addresses the pressing global issue of childhood obesity by comparing the persuasive efficacy of these technologies. Oranger’s contributions lie in empirically demonstrating how playful, interactive design can motivate behavior change in young users, offering practical insights for developing more engaging health interventions. By bridging robotics, psychology, and nutrition science, his work provides a foundation for future research on child-centered persuasive systems, making him a notable voice in the emerging field of socially assistive technology for pediatric health.
