About

The Affective Intelligence and Robotics Lab led by Dr Gunes investigates taste-liking facilitation by humanoid robots (IEEE RO-MAN 2020 Best Paper Award Candidate) and employing machine learning methodologies for automatic analysis of facial taste-liking (ACM ICMI 2020 Workshop on Multisensory-Human Food Interaction).

The lab also focuses on the investigation of social appropriateness of robot actions (Mind Your Manners!) and how to employ lifelong learning for enabling long-term human-robot interactions (Lifelong Learning and Long-Term Human Robot Interaction, CLIFER, Continual Learning for Affective Robots)
