About
Ioanna Giorgi is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction, assistive robotics, and cognitive architectures, with a focus on supporting healthy ageing. Her work investigates how older adults perceive and trust social robots, a critical factor for successful ageing-in-place. Her pilot study, "Friendly But Faulty" (43 citations), revealed key trust dynamics in human-robot relationships, while her subsequent work on robot health advice (26 citations) explores whether seniors would accept robotic guidance. Giorgi has also made notable contributions to embodied cognition, designing brain-inspired architectures that enable robots to learn actions from natural language. Her recent research extends into biodiversity monitoring, examining how robotic systems can transform ecological data collection. With publications spanning top venues in robotics and gerontechnology, Giorgi's work has garnered over 100 citations, reflecting its impact on both the technical design of socially assistive robots and the ethical deployment of AI in silver care. Her research is essential reading for anyone interested in building trustworthy, intelligent robots that can meaningfully support an ageing population.
