Current projects
Chatty Car (Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub)
Project aiming to understand the relationship between driver and vehicle in automated Vehicles (AVs) to ensure the appropriate allocation of trust is achieved, particularly during the transfer of control.
Trustworthy Human-Robot Teams (Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub)
Interdisciplinary project exploring the different aspects related to trust within and towards human-robot teams in two essential tasks: robotic surgery and cleaning and disinfection of spaces.
Trustworthy human-swarm partnerships in extreme environments (Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Hub)
Project aiming to understand the barriers to trust in human-swarm partnerships and trial the implications of these, as well as to build an Artificial Intelligence (AI) recommender system and evaluate its trustworthiness with a proof-of-concept Hierarchical Agent Control (HAC) simulation platform.
Past projects
Cleaning Reassurance with a UVC robot – Feasibility study (Horizon Digital Economy Research)
Feasibility study exploring the use of a UVC cleanning robot along with a sensor network, and the way in which communication should happen between robot and the users of the spaces it cleans to create reassurance and trust.
Inter-ALTCAI – Interactive Agents with Literacy, Trust, and Comprehension-aware Artificial Intelligence (DfID Transform)
Project exploring the use of Intelligent Virtual Agents as an effective and engaging tool for delivering healthcare and wellbeing advice to expectant and nursing mothers in Nigeria.
ICUBE – Industrial Co-bots Understanding Behaviour (Smart-Products Beacon & Horizon Digital Economy Research)
Demonstrator project exploring the use of natural language as an effective tool to teach the task of sorting the laundry to an industrial co-bot.
VHQ2 – Virtual-Human guided tasks for automatic analysis of depression and anxiety (NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre)
Project developing objective measures for depression and anxiety using analysis of human behaviour, and exploring the effects of using an Intelligent Virtual Agent during the tasks used to assess depression and anxiety.
MaTHiSiS – Managing Affective- learning THrough Intelligent atoms and Smart InteractionS (Horizon 2020) – www.mathisis-project.eu/
Project assisting the educational process for learners and their tutors by creating a novel and adaptive “robot/machine/computer”-human interaction ecosystem to enhance learning for individuals with or without learning disabilities.
EDUROB – Educational Robotics for Students with Learning Disabilities (Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Commission) – www.edurob.eu/
Project exploring the use of robotics in education for people with learning disabilities and offer a solution for its integration in the education of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
IT Consultant and Software Integrator
Edicom,
Spain
I worked on international projects involving global companies, from both the private and the public sectors, in order to introduce the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) between them.
I designed and developed a Serious Game for the Gateway to Birmingham Advice Services (GBAS) to be used to help people understand the tribunal process and be better prepared for a hearing.
Research Associate
Nottingham Trent University,
United Kingdom
My research focussed on trying to find the more efficient way to engage and help students with learning disabilities using robotics as an educational tool.
Among other tasks, I was in charge of the development of an application for mobile devices to remotely control the humanoid robot NAO and worked side by side with students and educators, to better understand their requirements and get successful results.
