About
Nadine De Giorgi is a leading researcher at the intersection of service robotics and gerontechnology, with a primary focus on the human-centered implementation of assistive robots in elderly care settings. Her work bridges engineering, ethics, and social sciences to address the practical and emotional challenges of integrating robots into retirement and nursing homes. De Giorgi’s most notable contribution is her leadership in the Agebots project, funded by the Swiss Innovation Agency (Innosuisse), where she coordinates a multidisciplinary team to investigate how service robots can be effectively deployed to support both caregivers and older adults. Her research emphasizes real-world testing, user acceptance, and the design of intuitive human-robot interactions, as exemplified in her widely cited paper, “Hey robot, where is my drink?” (2021). While her citation count is still growing, her work is foundational in shaping policy and practice around ethical, scalable robotic assistance for aging populations. De Giorgi’s achievements include bridging academic research with industry partners and advocating for inclusive design that prioritizes dignity and autonomy. Her ongoing projects continue to influence how robots can enhance quality of life in care environments.
