A change in human-machine interaction is essential to enable new possibilities for innovation and significantly improve people's quality of life, through more intuitive and natural interfaces.

Parthenope

Parthenope University

The University of Naples Parthenope joins the consortium through its dynamic Department of Science and Technology, whose multidisciplinary team carries out cutting-edge research at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and human–robot interaction.

Drawing on a solid tradition in computer engineering and cognitive sciences, the group develops social and assistive robots that can perceive complex environments, interpret human intentions, and provide support.

Background for CARE

The Robotics Laboratory of Parthenope University has a solid expertise in the development of systems inspired by human cognitive models.

It is specialized in the optimization of the 'perception–understanding–action' cycle and in the development of algorithms for emotion recognition, promoting empathic interactions between robots and users
