Technology / Software / Internet

The research activity aims to study new architectures and methodologies to better manage the cycle "perception-understanding-action" of artificial autonomous systems, taking inspiration from cognitive models. The goal is to integrate both aspects of basic cognitive capabilities and higher-level aspects such as emotions (by affect computing), creativity (by computational creativity paradigms), introspective capabilities, and motivations. Another important goal is that concerning the social interaction of the system, the analysis of textual information (by social/semantic computing), and the models of human-robot interaction. The experiments deal with chatbots and humanoid robotic platforms
