We study the basis of humans’ capacity to recognize, elaborate and react to a robot; on that, we research on how to build and control robots able to synergistically cooperate and to anticipate humans’ actions.

Specific research interests:

  • Cognitive functioning (attention, perception, memory, decision making, executive functions)
  • Object processing and object affordances
  • Learning (skill acquisition, implicit learning, observational learning, transfer of learning in individual and social contexts)
  • Gaze perception and joint attention
  • Human-human and human-robot interaction and cooperation
  • Human factors in real contexts
  • Affective computing
