About
Emanuel Di Nardo is a leading researcher at the intersection of affective computing, human-robot interaction (HRI), and biomedical signal processing. His work focuses on developing intelligent systems that can perceive and respond to human emotional states, with a particular emphasis on socially assistive robotics (SAR). Di Nardo’s major contributions include pioneering the use of 3D convolutional neural networks (3D-CNNs) to classify users’ emotions from EEG-based topographical maps, a breakthrough that enables robots to interpret emotional cues in real time during interaction. His 2024 paper on this approach has already garnered 4 citations, reflecting its immediate impact on the field. By addressing the challenge of individual variability in emotional expression, Di Nardo’s research enhances the ability of assistive robots to build rapport and elicit positive responses, making HRI more natural and effective. His work is instrumental in advancing SAR applications in healthcare, education, and therapy, where empathetic interaction is critical.
