Pusceddu, Giulia, Giulio Antonio Abbo, Francesco Rea, Tony Belpaeme and Alessandra Sciutti 2025 If they disagree, will you conform? Exploring the role of robots’ value awareness in a decision-making task Group Dynamics in Human–Robot Interaction, Sciutti, Alessandra, Dario Pasquali, Giulia Belgiovine and Linda Lastrico (eds.), pp. 477–505 | Article

This study investigates whether the opinions of robotic agents are more likely to influence human decision-making when the robots are perceived as value-aware (i.e., when they display an understanding of human principles). We designed an experiment in which participants interacted with two… read more

Sciutti, Alessandra, Dario Pasquali, Giulia Belgiovine and Linda Lastrico 2025 Group dynamics in human–robot interaction: Group dynamics in human — robot interaction Group Dynamics in Human–Robot Interaction, Sciutti, Alessandra, Dario Pasquali, Giulia Belgiovine and Linda Lastrico (eds.), pp. 387–391 | Introduction

Székely, Marcell, Henry Powell, Fabio Vannucci, Francesco Rea, Alessandra Sciutti and John Michael 2019 The perception of a robot partner’s effort elicits a sense of commitment to human-robot interaction Interaction Studies 20:2, pp. 234–255 | Article

Previous research has shown that the perception that one’s partner is investing effort in a joint action can generate a sense of commitment, leading participants to persist longer despite increasing boredom. The current research extends this finding to human-robot interaction. We implemented a… read more

Sciutti, Alessandra, Ambra Bisio, Francesco Nori, Giorgio Metta, Luciano Fadiga and Giulio Sandini 2015 Robots can be perceived as goal-oriented agents Gaze in Human-Robot Communication, Broz, Frank, Hagen Lehmann, Bilge Mutlu and Yukiko Nakano (eds.), pp. 13–32 | Article

Understanding the goals of others is fundamental for any kind of interpersonal interaction and collaboration. From a neurocognitive perspective, intention understanding has been proposed to depend on an involvement of the observer’s motor system in the prediction of the observed actions (Nyström et… read more
