About
Massimo Esposito is a leading voice in human-robot interaction, with a research focus on making robots more intuitive and trustworthy in real-world settings. His most cited work, a 2023 experimental study on anthropomorphic interaction in museums (29 citations), demonstrates how social robots can engage visitors by mimicking human-like behaviors, making cultural exhibits more accessible. Esposito’s 2023 paper on robotic health advisors for older adults (26 citations) tackles a critical societal challenge: whether people trust robots for health advice, revealing key factors that influence acceptance among aging populations. As an editor of a 2024 collection on AI and robotic applications for smart healthcare monitoring, he has helped shape the discourse on how these technologies can enhance clinical decision-making and patient care. His brain-inspired robotic architecture work (2023) further pushes boundaries by modeling conceptual development—how robots can learn and categorize like humans. With a career bridging technical innovation and human-centered design, Esposito’s contributions are vital for deploying robots in sensitive domains like healthcare and education, where trust and natural interaction are paramount.
