Sara is a PhD student in Cognitive Robotics, Interaction, and Rehabilitation Technologies. Her research aims to design an internal motivation to drive robots' behaviors adaptively and autonomously during a human-robot interaction.
She believes equipping robots with their internal states would be helpful to create more personalized and natural interaction between humans and robots.
