Assistant Researcher
Working on regional and European projects alike:
- RITA (Studio, implementazione e sperimentazione di Reti ICT in Toscana e Assistenza socio-sanitaria
per anziani e non autosufficienti), CariLiv (Le tecnologie per l'assistenza ad anziani, disabili e non
autosufficienti: nuovi scenari per il volontariato?), ASTROMOBILE (Assistive SmarT RObotic platform for
indoor environments MOBILity and intEraction) e ROBOT-ERA (Implementation and integration of
advanced Robotic Systems and intelligent Environments in real scenarios for the ageing population):
studies on usability and acceptability of assistive technologies, meant as sensors and/or robotic
technologies to favour the independence and the quality of life of elderly and disable people.
