COROLAB

Letícia Berto is a postdoctoral researcher at the Cognitive Robotics Lab at the University of Manchester. Her research focuses on developing cognitive abilities in robots, taking inspiration from child development. She is particularly interested in building cognitive autonomous robots through the design of cognitive architectures, with an emphasis on intrinsic motivation, learning, and decision-making processes. In her work, she tackles complex challenges, including environmental resource availability, social interaction dynamics, the distinction between wanting and liking, and the application of the theory of mind to enhance social interactions among autonomous cognitive agents. She also works with multi-agent systems, aiming to achieve effective human-robot collaboration.
