About
Dr. Elena Adelucci is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of developmental robotics and human-robot interaction, with a focused expertise in social robotics for education. Her work investigates how children engage emotionally and cognitively with autonomous social agents, particularly in unstructured, narrative-driven contexts. In her most-cited study, "Exploring Emotional and Cognitive Engagement in School Age Children: An In-Depth Analysis of Interaction with the NAO Social Robot During the Storytelling Activity" (2024), she provides a granular, multimodal analysis of how young learners respond to the NAO robot during storytelling. This work, which has already garnered 4 citations in its first year, demonstrates her ability to bridge qualitative behavioral observation with quantitative engagement metrics. Dr. Adelucci’s contributions are notable for advancing our understanding of how robots can scaffold attention, empathy, and narrative comprehension in educational settings. Her research holds significant promise for designing more responsive, child-friendly AI companions. As a rising voice in her field, she continues to shape how we think about the emotional dynamics of child-robot interaction.
