With my interdisciplinary research I pursue the dual goal of improving the performance of autonomous adaptive agents in their interaction with the environment, while proposing and validating neuroscience models and hypotheses.My interests span across different fields, such as intelligent robotics, computational modelling and cognitive sciences. Currently, I am mainly dedicated to the study and modelling of the relation between action observation and motor response during social interactions.
Selected topics:
- Sensorimotor transformations
- Spatial and temporal reasoning
- Vision-based reaching and grasping
- Human-robot interaction
- Mirror system
- Multimodal processing
- Stereo vision
- Attention and gaze control
