Francesco Vigni

Francesco Vigni is a licensed information engineer, PhD student of the EU project PERSEO and part of the PriscaLab based at the University of Naples Federico II in Naples, Italy. He is also affiliated with the Interdepartmental Center for Advances in Robotic Surgery (ICAROS) and enrolled in the graduate school Information and Communication Technology for Health (ICTH) of the same university. He received his M.Sc in computer and automation engineering with honours at the University of Siena in Italy. His first conference paper was awarded the Best Paper Award Finalist on HRI at ICRA2019 in Montreal, Canada. Currently, his work focuses on designing, developing, and testing metrics for social HRI that are inspired by the natural bidirectional communication that commonly happens among humans. This strategy can improve natural encounters between robots and humans.

Antonio Andriella

Antonio Andriellla is Research Scientist at Pal Robotics awarded with a Marie Skłodowska-Curie cofound fellowship in the H2020 project PRO-CARED which aims at designing social robots with proactive personalised behaviour during long-lasting interactions. He received his PhD with a thesis entitled "Personalising robot assistance for cognitive training therapy" from the Institut de Robòtica i Informàtica Industrial (IRII, CSIC-UPC). His work focuses on designing, developing, and evaluating interactive social systems that can be personalised and adapted to their users over short-term and long-term interactions, based on individuals’ unique needs and goals. He organised workshops on topics related to trust, ai, ethics and personalisation at HRI, RO-MAN and ICSR conferences. He served as guest editor of several special issues of journals such as the International Journal of Social Robotics, Paladyn Journal of Behaviour and Interaction Studies and as associate editor at IROS 2021/22/23 and ROMAN 2022.

Alyssa Kubota

Alyssa Kubota is a final-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at UC San Diego. Her research interests are at the intersection of robotics, artificial intelligence, and pervasive health. She works on developing embodied AI systems that enable robots to longitudinally and autonomously learn and adapt to people in real world environments. She has been awarded two Best Paper Award Honorable Mentions for her work at the HRI and CSCW conferences, and an exceptional teaching award at UCSD. Prior to the Ph.D., she studied Computer Science as an undergraduate at Harvey Mudd.

Silvia Rossi

Silvia Rossi is Associate Professor in Computer Science and co-head of the PRISCA (Intelligent Robotics and Advanced Cognitive System Projects) lab. She received the M.Sc. degree in Physics from University of Naples Federico II, Italy, in 2001, and the Ph.D. in Information and Communication Technologies from the University of Trento, Italy, in 2006. She is Associate Editor for IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L), the International Journal of Social Robotics and for Intelligent Service Robotics journal. She was the general chair of RO-MAN 2020 and RO-MAN 2022, Program Chair of ICSR 2020, Workshop/Tutorial co-Chair of HRI 2019. Prof. Rossi has been involved in several EU and non-EU projects. She is currently principal investigator and coordinator of the MSCA-ITN-2020 PERSEO (European Training Network on Personalized Robotics as Service Oriented applications). Her research interests include Multi-agent Systems, Human-Robot Interaction, Cognitive Architectures and Behavior-based Robotics and User Profiling and Recommender Systems. She published more than 150 papers in international journals, books, and conferences.
