About

Roberto Di Maccio’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, cultural heritage preservation, and human-robot interaction, with a focus on developing accessible, low-cost robotic platforms for real-world applications. His most notable contribution is the HeritageBot project, a service robot designed to assist in cultural heritage frameworks—a domain where robotics can revolutionize conservation, monitoring, and visitor engagement. The 2017 paper introducing the HeritageBot prototype has garnered 18 citations, reflecting its role as a foundational work in this niche but growing field. Di Maccio’s emphasis on low-cost construction and user-oriented performance makes his work particularly impactful for museums, archaeological sites, and heritage institutions with limited budgets. By bridging engineering and cultural sectors, he demonstrates how robotics can democratize heritage preservation. His achievements include leading the prototyping phase of the HBOT platform, which serves as a proof-of-concept for future deployments. For students and researchers, Di Maccio’s work offers a compelling model of how robotics can serve societal needs beyond industrial settings, inspiring new pathways in service robotics and applied heritage technology.
