Research
My research interests are in the broad area of intelligent systems,
particularly in which concerns applications of artificial intelligence in
robotics. My Ph.D. thesis (1997) focused on robot learning at the task level
and it's application in the robotized assembly domain.
In more recent projects, I have addressed other topics in human-robot
interaction and multi-robot systems. Current research takes place within the Transverse Activity on Intelligent
Robotics (ATRI/IEETA), of which I was the coordinator between 1999
and 2009. My main project at the moment is RACE
- Robustness by Autonomous Competence Enhancement, an European FP7
project of which I am the local scientific coordinator.
Main projects
I am/was the scientific coordinator of the following projects:
· RACE - Robustness by Autonomous Competence Enhancement, funded by European Union (FP7), 2011-2014. (local scientific coordinator for UA)
·
LANGG - Language Grounding for Human-Robot Communication, funded by FCT, 2004-2008.
·
CAMBADA - Cooperative, Autonomous Mobile roBots with Advanced Distributed Architecture, funded by FCT, 2003-2006. In this
period, I was also the (first) "team leader" of the CAMBADA
robotic soccer team, created by the project.
·
CARL - Communication, Action, Reasoning and
Learning in Robotics,
funded by FCT, 1999-2001.
Main events
I co-organized the following events
·
EPIA'2009 - 14th Portuguese
Conference on Artificial Intelligence - Aveiro, October 12-15, 2009. (conference
co-chair)
·
