Abstract

On February 21st, 2025 at 11.30 am we will have a new appointment of NECSTFridayTalk series titled "When Human-Robot Interaction loves Social Artificial Intelligence: A Focus on Mental Well-being Applications".

During this talk, we will have, as speaker, Micol Spitale, Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering at the Politecnico di Milano

This talk explores the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI) and advancements in
social artificial intelligence (AI), highlighting how these technologies can enhance the quality and effectiveness of interactions between humans and robots. The talk will start with an overview of recent HRI studies focused on mental well-being. I will then focus on the capabilities of social AI algorithms, particularly in assessing and promoting mental well-being. I will conclude with a comprehensive case study demonstrating the successful integration of social AI models to improve human-robot interaction.

The NECSTLab is a DEIB laboratory, with different research lines on advanced topics in computing systems: from architectural characteristics, to hardware-software codesign methodologies, to security and dependability issues of complex system architectures.

Every week, the “NECSTFridayTalk” invites researchers, professionals or entrepreneurs to share their work experiences and projects they are implementing in the “Computing Systems”.
