Great to see Dr Valeria Macalupú featured in this recent FRANCE 24 article on AI robot cleaners moving into everyday homes.
As a postdoctoral researcher in our Human-Robot Interaction program, Valeria brings deep expertise in social and care robotics, helping us understand not just what robots can do, but how people experience and trust them in real-world settings.
Her inclusion in this article highlights the growing importance of human-centred design as robots move beyond the lab and into daily life.
