Biography
Angelo Cangelosi is Professor of Machine Learning and Robotics at the University of Manchester (UK) and co-director and founder of the Manchester Centre for Robotics and AI. He was awarded a European Research Council (ERC Advanced) project in 2023. Cangelosi also is Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute London, and Visiting Professor at Universita' Cattolica Milano and Hohai University. His research interests are in cognitive and developmental robotics, neural networks, language grounding, human robot-interaction and trust, and robot companions for health and social care. Overall, he has secured over £38m of research grants as coordinator/PI, with currently many UKRI/Horizon/US grants active (e.g. ERC Advanced, UKRI TAS Trust Node and CRADLE Prosperity, Horizon RIA PRIMI, MUSAE and TRAINCREASE, the Horizon MSCA TRAIL, PERSEO, eLADDA, and the US AFRL THRIVE++). Cangelosi has produced more than 300 scientific publications. He also has projects funding collaboration with industries such as Honda, BAE Systems and Jacobs. Cangelosi is Editor-in-Chief of the journals Interaction Studies and IET Cognitive Computation and Systems, and in 2015 was Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Development. He has chaired numerous international conferences, including ICANN2022 Bristol, and ICDL2021 Beijing. His book “Developmental Robotics: From Babies to Robots” (MIT Press) was published in January 2015, and translated in Chinese and Japanese. His latest book “Cognitive Robotics” (MIT Press), coedited with Minoru Asada, was recently published in 2022.
