Short info:
Currently I am a Lecturer at the University of Plymouth with the Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems. I keep strong links with Vislab-ISR - Instituto Superior Técnico where I worked as a researcher where I was involved in several research projects RobotCub, Handle, Contact and Mirror.
I am interested in the use of machine learning, control theory to create robots that are more robust and can interact and work with people. My research interests are on learning by imitation, artificial development and active learning approaches.
News:
Jointly with Pierre-Yves Oudeyer, I am organizing a special issue on: Active learning and intrinsically motivated exploration in robots for the IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development.
It has the support of IEEE CIS Technical committee on Autonomous Mental Development and the IEEE RAS Technical committee on Robot Learning.
