About

Roberto Vagnetti’s research sits at the intersection of human-robot interaction, assistive technology, and clinical psychology, with a clear focus on vulnerable populations. His most cited work, a 2024 systematic review on social robots for autism support, has already garnered 32 citations and critically evaluates how these technologies can be integrated into clinical practice. Vagnetti has also made foundational contributions to measurement science in robotics, authoring a systematic review of psychometric instruments for human-robot interaction (15 citations) that provides researchers with validated tools to assess psychological dimensions like trust and engagement. His applied work addresses aging populations, particularly those with low socioeconomic status: studies on robot companions and sensors for older adults at home (8 citations) and a mixed-methods investigation of mobility and socioeconomic factors (7 citations) highlight his commitment to inclusive, real-world solutions. Most recently, his 2025 paper on cognitive load and task performance during human-robot collaboration (5 citations) explores how robotic support can reduce mental strain. Vagnetti’s research is notable for bridging rigorous psychometrics with practical, equity-driven design, making him a rising voice in socially assistive robotics.
