About

Dr. Silvia Guerini is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of assistive robotics and inclusive sports technology. Her work centers on developing robotic systems that enable individuals with severe motor impairments to participate in competitive activities, with a particular focus on chess—a sport recognized by the International Olympic Committee. Her most-cited paper, "A Robotic Assistant for Disabled Chess Players in Competitive Games" (2023, 5 citations), introduces a groundbreaking robotic assistant that allows players with high-level motor disabilities to compete in official tournaments independently. This contribution addresses a critical gap in accessibility, as chess remains one of the few sports where disabled individuals can compete alongside able-bodied peers, yet physical barriers often persist. Guerini’s research not only advances human-robot interaction but also promotes social inclusion, demonstrating how technology can level the playing field in competitive environments. Her work has garnered attention for its practical impact, offering a scalable solution that could be adapted to other sports and activities. Through her innovative approach, Guerini is reshaping the landscape of assistive robotics, making competitive sports more equitable for all.
