About
Irene Mannari is a leading researcher in socially assistive robotics, with a focus on developing robotic systems that enhance the quality of life for elderly individuals and children with autism spectrum disorder. Her work is distinguished by a multidisciplinary approach that integrates technology developers, elderly care organizations, and designers to create practical, user-centered solutions. Mannari’s most cited paper, “Multidisciplinary approach for developing a new robotic system for domiciliary assistance to elderly people” (2011, 23 citations), introduces the ASTRO robotic system, demonstrating the effectiveness of collaborative design in home assistance. She further advanced this field with the KuBo cloud robotic system (2016, 22 citations), which leverages cloud resources for speech recognition and environmental sensing to support independent living. Her research also explores human-robot interaction in therapeutic contexts, as seen in her study on children with autism (2019, 9 citations), and addresses interface design for aging populations (2014, 5 citations). With a cumulative impact of nearly 60 citations, Mannari’s contributions are pivotal in bridging robotics, healthcare, and human-centered design, making her a key figure in assistive technology innovation.
